July has ended up to be quite the introspective month. I was so looking forward to it following the month of the year in which I struggle the most. Yet before I could even stop and fully take stock of everything happening in my life, it’s over.
Part of me loves that…I have been busy at work, busy with this blog and just all around busy with my life and I generally thrive the most during times like these. Yet there’s an ever growing part of me that really desires to slow down and appreciate all the amazing things in my life just a bit more. I’ve been going so fast the fun times and awesome memories made this past month flew by without me completely acknowledging and enjoying them.
Strangely, that realization is what I am most grateful for this month. It has become abundantly clear that I am not living in the moment as much as I want to and need to be. The past thirty days have been an excellent wakeup call.
