What June Taught Me.

1. To (try to) be flexible. Life does not give two craps about your plans, and there’s nothing we can do about that. I’d venture to say we’ve all had our plans changed / canceled / obliterated recently, and it sucks. I’m trying (key word here) to be more flexible and focus on being thankful for what I have during this weird time, rather than focus on the canceled plans and how VASTLY different this year looks from my expectations.
2. That reading a good book in the sunshine fixes just about anything. I’ve been reading more than ever recently, and have discovered some great new authors. It’s almost like a mini vacation, and we take those wherever we can get them these days, am I right?
3. I like lifting weights??? Beyond that, that I’ve discovered something new that works for me. And beyond that, that I should always keep an open mind to new things, because my new favorite thing might be just around the corner.
4. To focus more on the little joys. When I look back on this year, a lot of things will stand out, but I think I will remember the slowness, the walks, the front porch coffee dates, the afternoons at the pool with Jack. I want to focus on those.
5. That even though the world feels frozen right now, we’re all still moving forward. There’s lots of learning, growing, and progress happening, whether it feels like it or not.

PS: A fun thing that I did today is post a story template about this on instagram, except I left out the word “taught”. . .so I posted and then reposted stories  all day that said, “What June Me.” It’s fine! Everything is fine. Basically a peek into the kind of month I’m having. 

What about you? What did June teach you?
