We are 3 weeks into the month, so let’s do a little check in!
How has your August been? Not gonna lie, ours has been a little chaotic, but believing beyond all belief that new things are on the horizon.
I’ve been spending this week brainstorming what direction I want to go with this blog, and I believe that books and cooking are my 2 sweet spots.
I’m still plugging away on my reading list, which at this point contains books that are already on my shelves. I’ve finished 17, and have a whopping 124 left to go. 🫠
I am excited about them though. I’m re-reading through my Stephen King collection along with the book series I’ve managed to compile over the years. Some are new to me, and some are well loved favorites.
For a less boring topic…
I just need to take a moment to give thanks to my husband.
We’ve been together for 22 years now, and he never fails to surprise me. Whether it’s dropping nuggets of wisdom at a much needed time to me and everyone he encounters, or giving a little shoulder shake in response to an inside joke, I know without a doubt that he is 100% my person.
He always supports me, no matter what harebrained scheme I come up with. He gives me all of his support and encourages me when I don’t feel like I’m good enough.
He’s been by my side through what is at times a debilitating illness and repercussions from that.
I love him with my whole heart.
Our marriage has not been an easy one. We were self destructive and atrocious to each other in years past.
But recently, man…we have got it so good. I can’t believe I was lucky enough to find someone who knows me inside and out and still wants to be with me everyday.
I hope everyone finds this type of love.
Things have not been easy for him mentally the past few months for a myriad of reasons that are not mine to explain. He handles everything thrown at him with such strength, it’s truly admirable. I’m beyond thrilled to see his next steps. And can’t believe I’m lucky enough to get to walk beside him.
I can’t wait to see what September brings. 😊
Let me know in the comments what you’ve been up to this August.
