in july, i will...

backyard book picnic (so far really enjoying how to read a poem)

In July, I will:

Drive around downtown until I find that blue wall and then take out my tripod and take a self-portrait or 30.

Eat a lot of watermelon.

Send a letter or two each week (the kind that needs stamps).

Get outside every single day.

Nap.

Read just for fun in the middle of the day.

Take a deep breath when I feel my assumptions rising to the top.

Picnic (often).

Go to a few movies.

Go on a few dates with Jon.

Hug my dad.

Eat more salads filled with the goodness that is summer veggies.

Wear a headscarf or two.

Learn all the words to Gotye’s “Somebody that I Used to Know” so we can sing it loudly on our next road trip.

Make limeade.

Make ice cream.

Play in a fountain with Ellie.

Keep the inspiration for leaning into summer flowing by adding to a growing Pinterest board of good things.

And you? What do you hope to invite into your world next month?
