Dear September...

Dear September,

I wrote you a little note when the month began - telling you that we'd get along well - and you have NOT disappointed. And for that, and so much more, I am grateful... I'm sad to see you go, but I'm loving watching you walk away!

Thank you for being an amazing month in my life.

Thank you for all the time with my family, especially with Susie.

Thank you for all the laughs and fun with friends - in NYC, over dinners, in the Hamptons, over lunches, over brunches, during long walks in the park, over drinks, over the phone - hell, even on facebook. I am blessed to have so many loving, caring and supportive people in my life and I am grateful for every one of my friends - new and old.

Thank you for bringing my goddaughters back to NY and bringing ME back to THEM after a long summer apart.

Thank you for the books, the theatre, the ballet, the movies, the art, the music, and the parks that I got to enjoy.

Thank you for New York!

Thank you for my health: For my four meetings a week. For my willingness to try and change what I can and accept the things I can't change. For my new trainer, who is smart and motivating and lovely.

Thank you for the end to Shakespeare Foot's chronic pain and for letting me dance again!

Thank you for my 57 days!

Thank you for the 180 billable hours - the biggest earning month of my business's 2 and 1/2 year existence!

Thank you for my clients - old and new - for being so flexible and so demanding all at the same time.

Thank you for making every day unique, looking nothing like the one that came before or the ones that will follow!

Thank you for the rain and the sun, for the ever changing seasons, for reminding me why I love this time of year.

And thanks to all of you for making this one of the happiest, healthiest, fullest and most phenomenal months in my entire life!
