Day 1: Introduction to my Blog, and a new Series!

The purpose of this blog is to celebrate living life simply, and loving it. To live within you means, love what you have, and to love each day for what it is. At present... this is not where I'm at. Quite the opposite in fact. It would be amazing to be at a place in my life where I am not just waiting. Where I could see all the great things that I have in my life like my Husband, my Family, and my Home. To stop blocking out life in order to hopefully reach the next goal, or chapter in my life, more quickly. I'm starting to realize that there will always be another goal, and that even if I just reach a goal, there will always be something else coming up on the horizon. I want to stop living life with blinders on, and stop writing to-do lists that well exceed what is possible to do in one day. I want to find happiness in little things, recognize all the joys in my life, spend time having fun with the ones I care about, and start to actually live for the journey instead of the destination.

To kick off this blog I'm joining TheNester in her '31 Days' series for this year. Basically, she chooses a topic and blogs about it for all of the 31 days in October, and she invites other bloggers to choose their own topic, and blog along with her all through October.

My topic is "31 Days of Living Life; Not just Charging Through it." I'm so excited to join in with this series as I really feel like focussing on blogging every day will really help me to get started on my journey, form good habits, and remember to live life to the fullest.

I will be linking all of my '31 Days' posts at the end of this post as they are published. Thanks for reading!

  1. That's Amazing! I will definitely be following closely, as I am the same way, and I would love to be able to stand back and look at what I already have, and already have accomplished :) Good luck!
