Goal Setting in July with Weekly Wishes

You can’t be serious. July already? I feel like it’s hard to even keep track of goals let alone complete them at this rate. Time is a funny thing. When you’re waiting for something, it’s always slow, but when you need more of it, it flies by! I know I could use an extra day this week. Anyone else with me?

Even though I would have liked to get more done, I can’t complain about how our time was spent. We started off last month camping and seeing the 3 largest threes in the world at Sequoia and King’s Canyon National Parks. It was out-of-this-world! I know I’ve seen redwoods before, but I guess it’s not everyday that you hang out with giants. There’s something about being in a place like that that makes you feel like you and your problems are just so small.. in a good way! I want to get out there more. While I was home, I was spending most my time blogging and playing piano.

Last month’s highlights on instagram:

1. Bake one new recipe. I made lemon blueberry cake and rum cupcakes! Recipes will be up soon!
2. Do two new pinterest projects. I did one (see below). I did buy some materials for a second project, and that’s half the struggle right there!
3. Go on four creative dates – 2 / 4. Camping in Sequoia for 4 days counts as one LONG date.
4. Read 4 books. Finally finished this! But that’s all the summer reading I did this month. :(
5. Fill my gratitude jar with four strips. Done.
6. Schedule blog posts one week in advance. I did this in phases, but currently I am not ahead.
7. Start Up Couch to 5k. I am now on week 4 on Couch to 5k!
8. Play one hour of piano a day. This I did (on days I was in town)! I did not perfect the UP song because I started getting bored of it.. bah! This always happens just before I start getting better. BUT instead I am now on page 4 of this! w00t!

5. Fill gratitude jar with four strips.
6. Schedule blog posts one week in advance.
7. Finish Couch to 5k. Then what next? 10k? Did I mention I hate running?
