La liste de la lune

Tried some new stuff with the editing.

New Moons always feel like a fresh start to me.  I always feel so recharged and full of energy.  Almost like a mini New Year that happens every month.  This past New Moon (on Friday), it dawned on me that I don't really have any short term goals.  Obviously I have the long term goal of finishing my internship, but not going to class every day and having assignments means I don't have little tasks to complete.  I finally get to create objectives for myself just because I want to, not because someone will be there to grade me on my work.  

Since the New Moon feels like a new beginning for me, I decided that every time one occurs I'm going to create a small list of short term goals to complete before the next New Moon.  The list will contain things that just need to happen in general, but also things that will push me to grow as a person.  So, without further ado, here is my first New Moon List:

• Finish putting my room together.  My room is so close to being done, but not quite.  I need to hang some shelves and put my decorations out and it will finally feel like my space.
• Finish Prodigal Summer.  I've been reading an amazing book by Barbara Kingsolver.  I only have a fourth of the book left, but for some reason or another I've been putting it off.  And it's not like I don't have time.  I can take away an hour or two of Pinterest a week and I'll be done in no time.
• Create four new pages in my art journal.  I just stumbled upon the whole concept of art journalling, and I love it!  It's definitely something I need to continue in my life.
• Comment once on each of my favorite blogs.  This goal is probably my hardest.  I'm so shy that I enjoy my anonymity on here, but I need to break out of that.  When I have something I want to say [that's positive] about a post on someone's blog I need to say it.  I fear that it will seem creepy to post on a blog of a person I don't know, but I'll never create any friendships that way.  Otherwise, I'll get stuck in a rut of posting on here but never reaching out. 
• Keep enjoying walks with my LoveDove and taking advantage of every second of this season I can.  This one is a no brainer, but sometimes I have to remind myself to enjoy things while they last.  I can't let busyness consume me.

That's it for this month!  Next New Moon, on November 3rd, I'll be back with a report on how I did with October's list and a new list to tackle before December.

Peace & Love
