Lives all around me are starting to get
back into a routine, and even though the start of a school year doesn’t signify
a change in routine in our home, I do think I’m looking forward to some new
routines for us as well. This summer has been a blend of really sweet and
really hard, but not much about it has felt normal or routine. Lots of hiccups
and plot twists along the way. More could yet come, and I’m aware of that.
(That’s why they call them plot twists!) But I am looking forward to the idea
of routine.
I’m
also looking forward to working on these goals this month:
ONE. Take new head
shots. I am pretty sure it was back in
2016 when the photographer who took our annual fall photos took some head shots
for me to use on my website. I hadn’t had new one since, so when our
photographer took our pictures last fall, I asked her to take some. She did,
and they were good, but by the time we got to them in the photo shoot, the wind
had mostly destroyed my hair. Plus, my face looks really different now than it
did a few months ago, so I decided those pictures aren’t the best representation
of me. I will probably have her do more this fall, but in the meantime, if we
can find a good hair day and weather day that combine, I will have Ryan take
some here at home.
TWO. Finish vacation
scrapbook. I really do want to
knock out that project this month before I start to forget all the good stories
that go along with it! It’s half done, but I would love to finish it.
THREE. Finish baking
challenge. I have a good handful
of recipes left to conquer on this one, and I am looking forward to giving it a
try!
FOUR. Complete my
Sabbatical speaking assignment and make sense of what I’ve learned. This month will wrap up my ten-week speaking assignment,
and I want to finish well and strong. I already know I have absolutely loved
it. But I want to spend some time reflecting on what I’ve learned from it and
how I can carry those lessons forward in my life.
FIVE. Write ½ hour
every day. In July, I read a half
hour every day and was amazed at how many books I got through by doing that. I
may or may not do that again in August, but I would like to commit to being
more intentional in writing each day. I struggle to get into a good rhythm, and
I’m hoping that making this a priority will help with that.
I
have a few other things I’d like to see happen in August, but these are the
main goals for the month! How about you? Any goals for the month to come?
