Welcome, October!
This is the birth month of one of my very favorite people ever. (hint: it's the Man of the House). That means it would automatically get a big thumbs up from me. But, I adore October for so many reasons. Football season is in full swing. Pumpkins are everywhere. It (usually) starts to really feel like fall - which means I get to start wearing sweaters and boots without feeling as if I'm going to melt into a puddle by lunchtime. Around here, the best part of the autumn leaf season usually occurs in October.
There is just so much to enjoy about this month!
Working On: Prioritizing tasks. I am doing pretty well with getting myself back into the habit of setting monthly and weekly goals and planning my weeks. (Something I seriously let slide during the first several months of the whole pandemic thing) But I need to do a better job of prioritizing each of my tasks so that Important things get accomplished on time.
Reading: The Giver of Stars by Jojo Moyes and Living With Intent by Mallika Chopra
I've never read any of Jojo Moyes' other popular works such as Me Before You. But I am thoroughly enjoying this tale of a British girl who hastily marries an American boy and moves to a small Kentucky mining town where she joins a group of women delivering books as part of Eleanor Roosevelt's new Pack Horse Library Project.
Celebrating: As I mentioned above, the Man of the House has a birthday this month. Our daughter and her husband also celebrate their first anniversary. Hard to believe that an entire year has passed since the wedding!
Loving: This month! (see above) Also my two little doggies. Yep - two! We have been talking about getting a "brother" for Max. A companion and playmate. Last weekend we drove to an animal rescue in South Carolina and adopted a Chiweenie. We have named him Ziggy and so far he is fitting right into our family. It's adorable to see the two of them playing and wrestling. And Ziggy is a sweetheart who loves to cuddle in my lap.
Wanting/Needing: I need some book suggestions. I welcome any reading recommendations, but specifically I am looking for a good daily devotional or two (or three, or four) as well as suggestions for good books about intentional living and mindfulness.
Dreaming About: Fun birthday celebrations. For the Man of the House this month and for myself on November 1st.
