Definitely did the New Month Dance this morning!
AND, check out my beautiful new August screen backgrounds (some of you will have to avert your eyes regarding the notifications; I do make sure to clear them every so often).
My goals (I see this as a Reset / Restore kind of a month, in addition to getting into fresh back to school routines). I also did my traditional monthly spread to help me ‘see’ my work time and am pleased to note that this is kind of a normal month. Not a ton of travel or extras, though things will continue to be challenging with Josh in Non-Weight-Bearing Mode.
To celebrate, I went to the gym. It was extra crowded so maybe I am not the only feeling the NME (New Month Energy). I was thrilled that there were no Bulgarian Split Squats in the first August lower body workout, too.
THEN I took a little walk (part of it with A), listened to the new Ariana Grande (I like it so far), and will be checking The Odyssey off of this list already since we’re going today! I’m excited to see it.
Wishing everyone the best possible start to August . . . any exciting goals for the month?

Definitely share what you thought about the Odyssey. I am not sure we can sit through a 3.5 hour movie in the theater, so we may wait til it comes out on streaming. My medical leave ends this week, which is both good and bad. I can’t really say I missed my clinical job… at all these past couple of months. Ha. It will be interesting to see how re-entry goes. Here’s the reminder to myself that each day is an opportunity for me to reconsider whether staying or moving is in my best interests.
I thought of you this morning when I woke up. You needed that fresh start feeling! I am so envious of your impeccable hand writing. Mine is pretty terrible!!
I hope August is a great month! I started mine with a workout, too. And then we went to the library and I was able to page through a Yosemite guide book while the kids happily played/looked at books. Yosemite is one of the parks we are considering for our 10th anniversary trip next year. I’m leaning towards it for a variety of reasons but we will see what we ultimately decide on!
Happy new month! I can feel your energy from the screen :-).
Most exciting goal is a solo trip to London (I’m in Denmark). I had a solo trip on my “not likely but I do so wish” goals list this year. And how fortunate am I that my favorite band is giving a talk in London and my husband encouraged me to go? Very privileged – am I’m beyond excited.
Other goals are a couple of planned date nights, training for my first half marathon in September and getting into a good post-holiday groove a work. Oh and see the Odyssey and the new Spiderman 🙂
I hope August makes up for the last wee while for you. Sending positive energy your way!
