Last day of July. Tell me, where does time go these days? I know I am repeating myself when I say time flies but it really does. All being sucked into the handling of to-do lists and adulting and not much time spent into living. At least, that is what it currently feels like for me. Today I have a migraine again and I am exhausted. July has again been spend more hours in bed with drawn curtains and pain then I wished for.
But I really do not want to complain. I want to celebrate the moments that are fun. That are fulfilling. That are being lived. So let’s see what that was in July.
How I incorporated my word CELEBRATE and set intentions in July
July was packed with to-do lists and stuff but celebrations were in the mix as well.

Oh, there were some lovely moments in July – so glad you got to spend time with your grandma and mom! Sorry to hear about your godmother’s passing.
Thank you San. I find it really a great practice to write down the happy moments of a months. How often do I sit here thinking at was just blah but really there was lost of great things.
