Not only do you have those holidays but September is full of other fun holidays. Labor Day is a day to celebrate all workers and their contributions to our daily lives. Grandparents Day is a day to celebrate and appreciate our Grandparents and everything they do for us. All the love and joy they bring to us along with the escape from mommy and daddy. You have Mabon, which is the second Harvest celebration. It is time to reflect on what the God and Goddess has given to you and thanks them for all that you have. In all sense it is the Witches’ Thanksgiving as we recite what we are thankful for. Mabon is also the Autumn Equinox which is an astrological event. The Autumn Equinox means that the time of day and night is equal and the days will start to get shorter. It also marks the first Day of Fall. You can celebrate the Fall by having a nature walk and explore the changing of the season.
-“Fall has always been my favorite season. The time
when everything bursts with its last beauty as if nature has been saving up all
year for the grand finale.”

Then you have a day in history that will never be forgotten. I remember my mother waking me up on that day in September 2001, and I watched in horror of what was happening. So many lives lost over hate. We should take the time to stop and reflect on how to stop the hate to live on. We have been fighting hate with more hate and we need to change tactics and find out why people hate us so much. We need to sit back and accept that we have different beliefs and that it is ok for us to be different. So on the anniversary of one of my best friend’s death, I take the extra effort to be friends with someone that I am indifferent with. I take the extra effort to see another person’s point of view before mine. I want to teach my granddaughter about another culture so she can see that we are all different but it is ok to be different.
September is a month of changes. The leaves on the tree start to change colors and fruit is ripe for the picking. The weather is once again changing from a hot days to cooler fall winds. It’s time to get your jackets out and prepare for the colder days ahead. The last of the yard sales will be popping up for one last hurrah before it gets too cold. Soon you will be turning off the fans and turning on the heat and the vents need to be cleaned while it is still warm. Storage room needs to be made for all the preparation for the winter months that will be coming up. With all the sales that are going on, it is a good time to stock up. It is time to start making your plans for yard work. With the beauty that comes with Fall, so does the scattered leaves come. In a couple of months you will need to rake up your Fall leaves, but before your rake take in the beauty of September.
September is the time for cable season finales and the start of TV Fall Season. You have waited all summer for all those season cliffhangers. You are have been following all the spoiler reports to find out what is going to happen on your favorite tv shows. Lately we have had a few actors that have died and you wonder how the show is going to be like with the absence of them. There have been some characters that will be leaving the show as they did not renew their contract. It will truly be dramatic this opening season.
So, September is here and we have lots to do, but make sure you enjoy your time and the beauty that is all around you. Take time to have some fun with your kids and grandkids. Enjoy what September fun offers to you.
