Don't we all just get an ache for change every once in a while. Something about changing our routine, setting new goals, changing seasons, picking up a new hobby, trying a new recipe or restaurant, finding new music that speaks to your soul, and one of my favorites, rearranging furniture!
Autumn always seems to bring out the desire for change even more than usual. It must be the changing of the season from hot to cold, the warm sun with the cool breeze, the brilliant sunsets, back to school shopping for supplies and jeans, the anticipation for all of the holidays coming up and getting together with family and friends.
I recently had a change in my position at my job, and I'm still in the process of making the full transition. I'm looking forward to making that change completely in the next few weeks. I rearranged our bedroom a little bit, which brought me joy, that's the best I can do right now, since we aren't ready to move out or buy a place of our own just yet. That change will be coming in another 6 months, so that's a change I am looking forward to. I have been thinking about changing some of my habits and hobbies. I would like to learn to cook, take more time to make jewelry, maybe learn something new like crocheting or something. I would also like to set new goals for my health, to make an effort to eat healthy and do Yoga or go to an aerobics class or something. I would like to make another effort to attend the Temple more regularly, remember my daily prayers and scripture study. I need to show more appreciation to my Heavenly Father. I could do more for my family and friends and co workers, in regard to showing appreciation. I could make a better effort to pay attention to the details of people's lives and do nice things for people and show them how much I care, Especially for Matthew! He's so good at paying attention to the details and doing kind things for me.
Those of you that have taken the time to read this, sorry it sort of turned into a journal entry, which always makes me feel "zen" lol. Thanks and I love ya!

and autumn a mosaic of them all."
I am excited for fall, I love it! Sometimes its nice that our blogs are like journals... no need to apologize.
ReplyDeleteI'm so over Summer too! I decked out our whole house in pumpkins and fall leaves about 2 weeks ago, so I hear you on the ready for fall!! Besides, I just love sweaters, jeans, a cute jacket and boots! Love you Laur, glad you are doing well:)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that you are looking forward to fall and change. I however, am already getting the winter blues thinking about how sad I am that summer's almost over. It makes me super sad. I am unlike your cute friend Anna. I don't enjoy jackets, boots, or jeans. I need bear feet, shorts and the yummy sunshine. You have quite the talent in writing. I didn't know that about you. Lucky.
ReplyDeleteJust kidding on the "bear feet" comment. I know it's spelled bare (we make fun of how hairy Johnston boys feet are). Just don't want anyone out there to think I don't know how to spell.
ReplyDeleteChange can be good. I think I swing the other way more often- I always want things to stop changing and to be stable for a few years. It's like I'm an old woman already!
