People don’t like when I say summer is over, which means I probably should just clarify, I do not want the warm weather and sunny skies to leave–I like that summer, and I like the other summer too, I am just a little glad I am on this side of the summer. First summer as an RD in the books. NUTS! I went from constant motion of answering my cell phone and responding to texts to spending the better part of the last two days in bed. My body doesn’t know what hit it, what is this sleep thing? I am looking forward to finding the right balance over these next two weeks of vacation, but am also thrilled that if I needed to go back to work tomorrow I could. It was a good summer, and I am ready to start for next year. I’ll still take the two weeks though!
For most of the summer I tried to send my AD’s an e-mail with some weekly thoughts, which sort of took over writing any blog posts, but I think I’m going to try to continue to post weekly about things that actually matter to me. I feel like I faced some fears this summer and am coming out on the other side stronger and healthier. I am proud of the work I am doing. It makes me look forward to what is to come.
Birthday countdown is standing strong at 6 days, I haven’t had hardly any freak out moments over turning 30, it feels way more odd to think I am done writing the chapters on my 20′s. Something I have really thought about this summer is the need to be intentional. If we don’t focus and make it count time will march on. We will miss opportunities, I have missed opportunities. As I look at my 30 by 30 list most of what was on the list was quite attainable. A few of them were a stretch, but not many, if any required any bold faith or dependence on the Lord coming through. So, I am making a new list. I started yesterday writing about some of the things I am going to hope for in year 30. Right now it is a really rough draft, I had intended to keep it to 30 things, but why limit what I want to hope for and work toward? I am excited to see how it takes shape in the next couple of weeks. I am hoping to complete the list and publish it in some capacity within the first week of 30 to optimize my time as much as possible. I am excited to see where it takes me, and hope it lends itself to hope for even bigger and bolder things.
Excited for you to go on the journey with me.
*Important note on my behalf, I spelled everthing write –oh too funny, I really just did that. Right. Crud.
