5: WHAT I’M DREADING:
I really want to touch up all the trim in our house, but I'm super dreading it!  I know I just need to take it one room at a time, but ugh!  It's a lot!  I keep telling myself it will be so nice when it's all done.  You know, once I get started! 🤪

6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON:
I am trying really hard to slow down and enjoy the summer with the kids.  I know I'm going to blink and they'll be out of the house, so I'm really trying to enjoy their summer break to the fullest.  More Fun Fridays with little stuff & big stuff.

I'm also working on keeping my flowers alive (& weeds dead!}
June usually goes pretty well & then I just quit watering them until they die. :(

7: WHAT I’M EXCITED ABOUT:
My sister & BIL come home TOMORROW!!!

I haven't seen them since Christmas and it feels like it! :(
The weekend will also be filled with some of my favorite things -- boat parade, cardboard regatta, fireworks from the boat, etc.  It's just a fun weekend!

9: WHAT I’M LISTENING TO:
Silence.  I've been intentionally been seeking out silence lately and it's so nice.
I tend to think I always need to be doing two things simultaneously, so it's been nice to step back a bit.

Sandals, bike shorts & oversized t-shirts on repeat.

WHAT ELSE IS NEW:

Despite all the good/fun stuff above, the past few months have just been really hard.
I can't get into details here, but just remember you only see what people want you to see.  Everyone has their struggles, even if they aren't vocal about it.  Just be kind.
