It is almost that time again. The end of another month!
I have been working to take inventory at the end of each month, but I will admit some months end and new ones begin, and I forget to pause and reflect and look ahead.
This month it feels like my soul needs to spend some time checking in. How did we get to June of 2021 already? Some things in life are naturally falling into place. I am grateful for those spaces where life works somehow.
I am enjoying my growing puppy. She is almost 8 months and has started an intensive training program. I have decided I would rather have 10 years of a trained dog than the cash right now. It is an investment, and I am aware that it would be easy to spend the $ and not benefit. It requires me to put the time and work into the follow-through. I need to make time every day to practice with her. It will be good and fun, but I must prioritize this!
I am aware that post covid I am not in good physical shape anymore. I am winded too quickly, and I am opting out of activity where I used to opt-in. It is time to make my daily routine include movement. If you are in a place where you feel like it is easier to throw in the towel than to press on, please join me in the commitment to keep moving. My options are abundant right now. Biking, Peleton, Tempo, Impact, Walking…
I am eager to see how I feel at the end of June when I retake inventory.
I feel the tension of the world opening up. I have meetings, and they are on a rotation, so keeping straight which week I am on is feeling new again. Then to be a supportive participant, I want to do my part between meetings. As life gets busier, I must be sorting out what needs to get done and by when. I am becoming more of a list maker, and I am committing to my daily list.
Oh, and most importantly, I want to sit outside and feel the sunshine and the breeze. I have recently fallen in love with the sound of the wind. I don’t want this summer to pass me by without taking the time to enjoy the natural beauty around me.
And I want to laugh….laugh with friends, family, and strangers. I want to feel deep joy, release my sorrow, communicate my gratitude, share abundant generosity and always choose kindness!
What do you hope for in the coming month?
Blessed be His name!
