Summer is on the doorstep
It is nearing the summer solstice which means spring is coming to an end. It has been a very busy spring with surviving my first winter, on my own, with snow and actual hazardous conditions, to Isaac returning from Rhode Island and then moving to North Carolina. I like that we got to move here during springtime. The weather has been nice and it still allows time to grow food and flowers!!
I've been thinking about how I'd like to spend my summer. Ever since I stopped working it feels as if every season has to be productive and busy for it to be a good one. This time around I'd like to incorporate rest or leisure as a goal. Maybe a more balanced approach will lead to a more fulfilling summer- where memories are allowed to be made and savored.
I wrote in my journal some guidelines or goals on how I'd like my summer to be:
- Don't go on phone first thing in the morning
- I want to have a really cool garden. (and its ok if it starts small)
- I want to have a craft/office/space where I can do all my hobbies (both online and offline)
- I want to hike and explore nature.
- If I feel difficult emotions and have a strong desire to use social media/internet as a way to numb I have to close my eyes and take some deep breaths.
- I should try to read 5 books.
- I should make 2 playlists
- I should write 1 blog post a week
- I need to write! in my journal! stories! memories! moments! poems! dreams! letters!
- I should try one new cooking recipe and one new baking recipe
The only goal with this list is that summer feels fun, carefree, and enjoyable. There's a lot of suggestive word choice in here because I think coming back and finding a list of suggestions rather than rules will feel more inspiring when I'm bored or stressed.
Anyways, just wanted to start small and innocently on this blog <3
