It's the third month of "Girl Turns 40" and my journey of accomplishing 40 things within my 40th year is going pretty well, if I do say so myself.
Good stuff like massages, cupcakes, good books, fine jewelry, and fabulous trips have consumed my thoughts, and it's been a strange pleasure to focus on accomplishing these things. What I've noticed most is how previously (prior to the Top 40 list and starting my blog), I was consumed by work, work, work - literally living my career. And now, after three months of creating, exploring, designing, praying, learning, reading, and writing (of course) - my mind is starting to be free. I love thinking about things that bring enjoyment, and I am enjoying my blog, which means I am enjoying my life....now isn't that what we all want?
(Pause, while I pat myself on the back...)
Bring on Happy December!
I decided that I need to make an announcement of my upcoming monthly book, movie, and TOTM (Trip of the Month) - just so you'd know what to expect. I think "expecting" is important....as the action of looking forward to something is the stuff of upcoming happy times, don't you think?
Movie Selection: White Christmas
(I've only seen clips of the swishing and swaying and singing with the red dresses trimmed in fur, and never the whole thing.)
Book Selection: Animal, Vegetable, Miracle by Barbara Kingsolver
TOTM: Charleston, South Carolina!!
(Particularly, their 25th annual progressive dinner visiting three historic inns)
Looking forward to a happy holiday season....
