Dear July

 

July, you were WEIRD; I'm sorry but you were weird and there were so many weird and connected things that happened during the month that I felt myself saying "huh?!" ALOT. Can you tell August to be more normal?

----------------

Here are some words that were prominent during my month:  

Fireworks/// It's July, of course I am seeing fireworks this month. I always feel like a child when I watch fireworks

Traveling///  We were on the move this month! Renault Winery, Boston, NY, Philly, and everywhere in between. Don't worry, Penelope was along for the ride too! 

Unusual/// I had this feeling all month that I couldn't properly communicate. It was really weird and I wished I could have pinpointed why I was feeling this way.

Thinking/// AND to go along with the above word, I did a LOT of thinking this month. Everything was jumbled in my mind and I didn't let anyone know what was going on in  my mind- except my therapist. Even then I was reluctant to speak what I was thinking out loud. It made it feel TOO real.

Emoji of the month:

❤️

Gratitude, love, happiness, hope or even flirtatiousness.

I was definitely feeling LOVED all month! I was feeling grateful for feeling good, being able to experience all that I have been and just plain happy.

Flashback

In 2022, I went on vacation, got C0v!D, and played catch up; in 2021, I did a social media detox and I was going to therapy regularly; in 2020, I went spending a lot of time outside, I had a realization and started feeling better; in 2017, I was getting back into blogging under Everday Jersey Girl, Started my first Couch to 5K; in 2015, I began again with blogging and I was REALLY sick; and lastly in 2011, I went to the New Kids on the Block & Backstreet Boys concert, and shared some random musings as a 23 year old.

Gym Update

I did not go to the gym at all this month BUT I did walk/run/explore 9 days out of the month. The biggest walking day had to be Saturday July 22 when we explored Boston in the morning and then walked to Fenway Park in the evening. LOTS of steps.

Looking Forward

August!  A golf tournament, a beer crawl and my favorite 5K of the year!
