Monthly Goal Check-In (June)

Untitled

I started posting daily to-do lists on Instagram and I have to say it is so motivating for me. I love crossing things off a list and doing so in a public space really spurs me on. I also went on an amazing hike with a great friend and that spurred me to want to do more. It's amazing exercise, wonderful scenery and I got to spend a huge amount of time just chatting with a friend. I loved it!

I tackled a bunch of goals, some of them lingering this month and it felt good to cross them off. I finally painted the bathroom. I've only been meaning to do it for about 7 years. It took about two weeks but was so worth it. I also finished the long suffering Mitered Square Blanket which was about 12 years in the making. That felt good to finish!
