September Highlights

What was your biggest win or accomplishment this month?

Definitely walking two long, tough walks. I did Klapperkop for the second time and it was tough but I really enjoyed it. Our walk at Rietvlei wasn’t hard but it was very hot and one of our longer walks.

Share your favorite moment or memory from the past month?

David and I had date night! We have been trying for a while to find a date that works for us both, so glad we eventually just made it happen.
Trying on a pair of jeans that didnt fit me 2 years and being able to wear them comfortably was a huge moment for me.

What’s something new you discovered or tried?

What are you most grateful for from the past few weeks?

• The weather changing – it is warming up, we had a bit of rain and everything is coming back to life.
• Eve and I visited Tierlantynkies – I am very grateful to have someone to go to markets like this with.
