August 2015 Goals
By the time August rolls around, all I want to do is go to the beach, eat peaches, and relax. Which is not a particularly conducive environment for setting goals, if you think of goals only in the traditional sense of workmanlike drudgery you have to check off. Happily, I don’t. My goals are about living a more marvelous life, and while sometimes that involves hard and tedious things, sometimes it just involves eating peaches. The most beautiful sunflowers at Buttonwood Farm! Revisiting my goals for July: Pick blueberries at our favorite local farm Checking this one off because while we didn’t go to our local farm (it was closed all three times we tried!), I did visit another one with my work ladies. Plan and co-host a sweet summer co-ed baby shower for Natalie + Joe! Done! See here! Eat in and eat healthy. We borrowed a friend’s spiralizer, and liked it so much I think we’re going to buy our own! Write eight blog posts. Wrote nine! Success! August goals: — Frame and hang our two new pieces from Framed & Matted — Finally paint the tray I primed about a year ago (this is my inspiration) — Make progress on goal no. 37 (maybe the weeding out part) — Post an updated house tour here after our tour appears on Southern Weddings — For my most ambitious goal: do some sort of exercise every single day this month, whether a walk around the neighborhood, a run, a bike ride, or something else. Yikes! If you’ve posted your goals somewhere, I’d love to see – or just drop them in the comments!
