Today, I’m excited to join in with a group of fabulous bloggers to share my September in a sentence a day review. My thanks to Leslie who organized the sentence a day link up.

Be sure to visit the linked up blogs below for more seasonal inspiration, or join us to share your list of fun activities this season.
I am so inspired by your exercise routine plus the fun & interesting things you do each month.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Juhli. I do my best to keep my mind and body healthy so I can enjoy life with my family and friends.
DeleteI've said it before, but that doesn't mean I can't say it again - I'm in awe of your dedication to exercise & Spanish lessons. I walk most mornings (5kms) & bellydance on Wednesdays, but you never seem to stop. Looking forward to reading about your October.
ReplyDeleteWalking 5Ks and belly dancing are fantastic, Jo. I like to keep my mind and body active so I pick a few activities that I enjoy and just alternate them.
DeleteI'm still envious at your diligence and dedication to your yoga, exercise and Spanish (though can see Jo above is saying the same thing!).
ReplyDeleteI must admit there are also envious of your planned trip to Ireland. How exciting! #teamlovinlife
Thanks for visiting, Deborah. I sounded repetitive in my post but exercising and learning a new language require consistency to get results, plus I enjoy the activities.
DeleteWell done on the regular exercise! Looking forward to hearing about your trip to Ireland! :-) #TeamLovinLife
ReplyDeleteThanks, Min. I look forward to visiting Ireland and will write about it in about two weeks :-)
DeleteSuper cute medal for the Island Girl 5K, though I have to laugh at how big medals have gotten over the years. I guess they figure it'll distract us from how much the cost of races have increased over time!
ReplyDeleteI joined a Spanish conversation group recently, and it's been terrific though my brain feels like mush from the effort once the 90 minutes is up!
Looking forward to reading about your life in Toronto during all four seasons since we really only have two in my part of California - warm and slightly less warm(!).
It was sadly the last Island Girl event so I guess the organizers wanted to end their business with a bigger medal design. You're right though, the cost of races has increased, part of my reasons to do it just once a year. After New Year's, I anticipate quieter time at home for about ten weeks. Our winter has been mild for the last few years (global warming?). Will see what it's like this year. Your Spanish learning is impressive. 90 minutes would definitely give a good brain workout.
DeleteOh I feel so sedentary! I need more exercise. I used to go to the gym daily and before this summer got so hot I walked daily, but lately I've just been doing other things! And I sit at a computer all day. I vow to get back to walking during lunch when I return from our vacation next week! Thanks for the push.

You're welcome, Nikki :) Walking is great. Gentle stretches are good, too if your work requires you to sit at a computer all day.
DeleteWow, you workout so much in a month, that is awesome, life goals, hehe :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Sarah, for stopping by. Exercising is part of my daily fun routine :)
DeleteI still haven't done this whole sentence a day thing. I keep saying I'll do it and I just haven't! Might try for November. #teamlovinlife
ReplyDeleteSure, Leanne, join us for November and see how you feel.
DeleteLike the others, I'm inspired by your daily exercise routine! I have been neglecting my health, so this could be a good kick in the pants to get me back on track! :)
ReplyDeleteOh take care of your health, Amber. I hope you'll get back on track this week :)
DeleteI love the picture that says please walk on the grass. Ireland sounds awesome. When are you going?
ReplyDeleteI like that sign, too, Dani. Usually we see the opposite. I'm in Dublin now.
DeleteI greatly enjoyed getting to know you more through this sentence a day post. Like others, I am very impressed by your dedicated exercise routine, commitment to language lessons and extensive travel! Thank you for sharing this!
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure, Donna. Thank you for reading and leaving a comment :) I had a wonderful day in Dublin today. Will write about it in my October sentence a day.
DeleteHow fun to take Spanish lessons!! I used to be really good with it but not so much anymore!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun to learn a new language. Thanks, Jamie, for stopping by.
DeleteSuch a great idea to post a sentence a day to remind you of the month. I guess it is simply a different way of taking stock. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteMy pleasure. Thanks, Cathy, for visiting and leaving a comment.
DeleteYou are such an inspiration to me Natalie!!! I need to get my butt out of this chair!
ReplyDeleteXOXO

Stay in motion is good, Jodie. We can sit when we're 100 years old :)
DeleteOh, Natalie! Your days must be longer than 24 hours in Toronto and everywhere you travel. I am amazed, in awe of all the living you pack into each one. Those 5Ks alone are incredible. The language lessons. The travel. Your lovely photography. So proud to know you and to have your good example of living for my life!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Leslie, for your kind words. Do more of what makes you happy, and it'll be time well spent :)
DeleteYour exercise regime sounds full on! Well done on a great month and lots of planning :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Deb. Gotta to stay healthy to enjoy all the fun :-)
