I was supposed to go back to work early July but my doctor recommended I take a few more weeks off so now I will be resting all of July and will go back to work early August. I have been intentionally making sure my todo list for July is completely empty except for taking care of my people. I wake up every day reminding myself that I don’t have to do anything today. Eventually I exercise and paint and journal and read but I don’t even have to do those if I don’t want to. The idea is to rest.

This months intention is:  Invite Joy: Create some adventure. Go places. Do things. Hug your people. Take chances. 

We will see what this means for July. I think I will focus on rest instead.

Here are some goals for July:

• continue to draw, sketch, paint or do some artistic endeavor as often as I can
• try to eat fresh food
• do most of of HCOTF
• support N with his camps + classes
• support D with essays + driving
• Journal daily
• Read a lot
• Support J
• continue medication
• Continue documenting the joy
• Love my people
• Scrap and OLW
• Go outdoors, sit outside, be in the sunshine
• dive deeper into ease, release, equanimity, space, possibility and see what you might want to do for each. ( still haven’t done this )
• remember that it’s all bonus
• Be ok with not getting much done, rest.
• be in the present moment, don’t count down the days

This is my list for now.

July, here we go. Let’s do this. Let it be full of joy.
