(image via my Instagram – something crafty I worked on today)

Can’t believe how long it’s been since I (officially) went on my blog break.

Am officially back to blogging.

Determined to brace myself and do my best for the crazy busy next eight weeks.

Exploding with ideas of things I want to make and do.

Needing more time to do them.

Wishing there were more hours in a day.

Trying to embrace the busyness.

Learning to love each season of life for what it is.

Focusing on what I can do, not what I can’t.

Remembering to breathe, and not stress out.

Taking things in my stride.

Reminding myself of God’s sovereignty and goodness in all things.

Participating in Studio Calico’s photo prompts for #projectlife365 this week.

Hardly believing that we’re already more than halfway through September.
(Also, that I am already past the halfway mark for the first part of the fall term!!!)

Keeping up with running. Thankfully, I think I’m doing pretty good so far!

Trying to get school work done and stay calm, not stressed.

Remembering to cherish life and loved ones.

Anticipating all the fun things planned for the rest of this week.

Reminding myself that God always, always works things together for good because He is sovereign.

Wanting to make stuff again.

Eating more chocolate than is good for me.

Persevering to the end of this week.

Craving sushi.

Looking forward to the weekend.

Figuring out how to fit a long run into my schedule this week.

Thankful that the sun is shining again.

Trying to stay focused, motivated, and not distracted.

Listening to Yiruma while studying.

Choosing to breathe, and not stress out.

Celebrating.

Taking a day off from school to celebrate and relax.

Feeling 22.

So grateful for yet another year.

Excited for what this new year has in store.

Writing a new list for twenty-two.

Praying that “One year older, one year wiser” will be true for me this year.

Realizing that the older you get, the more the little things matter + add up.

Embracing today, and every day.

—

I’m gonna make the rest of my life, the best of my life.

Twenty-two, you’re going to be the best one yet.

Staying busy.

But so thankful for all the things that keep me occupied.

Feeling loved and blessed by unexpected snail mail.

Still finishing up things on the twenty-one list.

Trying to stay calm and not stress out.

Making running a routine.

Choosing to have right priorities.

Being ready to learn.

Remembering to have faith, not fear.

Reminding myself to look on the bright side of life because God has a purpose in all things.

Wanting to be as productive + intentional as possible with my time.

—

I am in charge of how I feel and today I am choosing happiness.

Only one more day until the weekend – let’s do this!

Needing to do some major organizing + decluttering.

Thankful for what a good week it has been so far.

Making memories + having fun.

Pretty excited to start a new term.

But focusing on finishing this term well.

Planning for the new term.

Trying to make time for things I need to do.

Finishing homework + planning blog posts (but not at the same time).

Prioritizing.

Reminding myself to “Hold all things loosely”.

Wanting too many things / Needing to want less (reminded by this pin)

Doing as much work as I possibly can so I can enjoy whatever is left of the long weekend.

But feeling a little too sluggish today to be properly productive.

Trying to get motivated despite the mood.

Pressing on with the homestretch of summer school.

Reminding myself to be patient + not stress out.

Learning to trust that God’s going to work everything out.

Anticipating time with family + friends this weekend.

Daydreaming about plans.

Enjoying wearing my hair in topknots these days + having it out of my face.

Craving something sweet + sugary.

Find joy in the ordinary.

I hope your Thursday’s been fabulous.

Today is the Day

Remembering to just breathe and not let my to-do list get the better of me.

Trying not to stress out.

Feeling like there’s always so much to do, but so little time.

Working on having a better routine so I can accomplish more.

Pressing on because I’m halfway through summer school!

But itching to travel the world (or just anywhere, really) and see new sights.

And needing a little vacation, maybe.

Having tons of ideas and attempting to make them happen despite being busy.

Learning to embrace each day + week because it feels like time is flying by.

Panicking a little after the realization that I barely have a month to train for my next run.

Dreaming of big plans + endeavors.

—

Enjoy Thursday, you guys!
Go out and make BIG things happen.

Really needing to get back to running.

Thankful for rest.

Feeling my best today so far this week.

Loving alone-time once in awhile.

Enjoying thunderstorms and rainy weather when we get them.

Still plodding along with school before the weekend arrives.

Working on staying focused.

Making grand plans for DIYs I hope to get done.

Hoping those plans don’t just stay in my head.
