Happy Saturday! I am coming to you today with Jen’s link up where we recap the month behind us.

I had a good month. When I look back at my camera roll, I had so many things that filled my cup. Do you feel the same?

This month I loved…

being with family at my niece’s wedding

going to my college Homecoming

some fun events this month like Chunkin’ Pumpkins and Ghoul’s Night Out

Sister Molly and Niece Lena coming for one of their fall break days

the weather this month

Sustained me

One on one time with friends, a friend brunch on a random Wednesday, phone calls with friends and family, a sweet phone call with my mom’s best friend, a long phone call with a niece, riding in the car with Tom and just doing errands together or chores around our yard together, going to look at boats and having a snack with Tom, and time with our pup, pop ins from Jack that usually involve me feeding him!

cutting EO’s nails together – lol

Carrying forward

I hope that I can carry forward a sense of fun and adventure even in the ordinary days.

I hope I can carry forward the attitude of “I get to” rather than “I have to”.

I hope I can keep walking as it gets colder. There’s no bad weather only bad clothing, right?

Making space for

Literally – I need to get back into my cleaning out/organizing mode. I need to tackle holiday decor so that will make sense with getting out Christmas stuff and packing away fall/Halloween/Thanksgiving, I need to box up kid memorabilia, I need to deal with my parents’ sentimental things that are in my basement, and I want to have only things in my home that are meaningful or functional. I have done a lot of work towards these goals but I stalled and need to pick that back up.

Figuratively – I hope I make space for the important people in my life. My circle has gotten smaller but it’s also a nice size now, too, if that makes sense.

This was fun, Jen!

What would you say to one or all of these?
