The trees have started to noticeably
change colors, making my lake view so beautiful each day. I never mind the
arrival of fall, and now that we live here, it makes me a bit nostalgic,
because we officially purchased this house in October (two years ago) and started
our renovation work on it immediately. I remember those crisp nights and days
in this chilly space, drinking coffee from disposable cups (thanks, gas
station!) and catching the aroma of paint applied to dark brown walls.
In
those days, I remember wondering what it would be like to just live here,
rather than visiting and going away each night. IT’s even better than I
imagined it would be. I love it so and welcome the beauty of the changing
leaves over the lake!
But
today is also the start of a new month, which means it’s time to have new
goals! I confess they were a bit harder to make this month. I’m not sure why!
ONE. Choose a writing
project. A couple of months ago
I made a goal to write for ½ hour a day. I did (and sometimes more) and loved
it. The last five years of jobs/moves have not lent themselves to carving out
time in each day to write, but I miss it and would love to make some sort of
concrete progress on at least ONE idea simmering/marinating in my mind. (And
some are even marinating on my computer.) I actually have eight possible
projects looming. I need to pick one and start working on it.
TWO. Go on a fun and
different kind of date! This month marks 12
years of engagement for us, which often means we do a fun/different/creative/splurge
date. Even if we don’t do it on that day, I am making a goal to do something
out-of-the-box. (But not whitewater rafting – ha!) for a date this month! I have
a couple of ideas, but we’ll see what works out best with our schedule. Might
need to save my ideas for later!
THREE. Figure out our
picture outfits. We have a date chosen with
our photographer for our annual family photos, but I haven’t yet decided what
to wear. Need to get that figured out. And it will probably change three times
before it happens!
FOUR. Do better with
the workouts. September was a bust.
May October go better!
I
feel like I should have more goals, but at the moment, this is all I have. Guess
we shall see what I come up with along the way of this beautiful month!
How
about you? Dreams and goals for October???
