It is officially the start to my favorite three months EVER. The most wonderful time of the year starts today, y'all. I'm pretty happy about it.
The first day of a new month always holds so much potential and leaves me drawing up a to-do list and creating new goals. Today is no different. And while I'm drinking my coffee and journaling and trying to decide what I want to get out of this month, I can't help but think of past months where I've had such high expectations that I did not even come close to reaching.
And I can't help but think it was because I wasn't intentional.
It's easy to say I want to be a good wife, or a good blogger, or a good etsy-er. {Is there an official name for that yet??} It's easy to say I want to read my Bible more or be outside more or make more time for whatever I need to make more time for. But actually doing it is a completely different story.
Sometimes I feel like getting excited about life and making new goals and dreaming new dreams and writing them all down is enough.
But it's not.
It's easy to have dreams.
It's hard to follow them.
This October, I'm going to be intentional.
I'm going to be intentional about living my life. I'm going to be intentional about following my dreams and goals. I am going to wake up with a purpose and follow that purpose all throughout the day, so that the thirty-first of October looks a lot like the I hoped it would on the first of October.
So, what do you say? Will you join me in living intentionally this month? If so, the possibilities are endless.
Have a great first day of October, friends!
{Also: The Handmade Fair is right around the corner! I'll be posting the link Thursday at midnight--I'm so excited about it!}
