I am so excited about summer this year! Today was my last day subbing until the next school semester! Yay! What makes this year different? Me! I have changed. I am no longer afraid of the spiders, ticks, and snakes of Arkansas! Ha! I have a bucket list of trails I want to hike!
Another change in me is I no longer allow my mind to wander off in areas that will cause me to feel anxious. I take captive every thought I recognize as one that robs my peace. I am not saying it still doesn’t happen. I just recognize it more easily and purpose in my heart to not go there. I cannot change one thing worrying about tomorrow or what could have been. I read news headlines only to be informed, share to my Instagram occasionally, scroll way less, and put my phone down, a lot.
Therefore, this summer, I am setting my sights on the things that bring me joy! Getting outside, breaking bread with friends, and loving on my family every chance I get! Still plan to write that book. Maybe it will happen this summer. I’ve got my friendly AI to help now!
