“Get excited and enthusiastic about your own dream. This excitement is like a forest fire- you can smell it, taste it, and see it from a mile away.” -Denis Waitley
Right now I am really excited about Labor Day in September. It’s the weekend after my husband and I celebrate our 8th anniversary, and also the first weekend away together that we will have in our marriage. Sure, we’ve had the occasional week or weekend without the kids, but we’ve always spent them at home. And home means work: our jobs, house work, yard work, etc…
This year we are planning to go out of town for a night or two, just the two of us. I cannot wait!
My excitement about this has me thinking a lot about what I want for the weekend. And while most of my anticipation is geared toward having the time alone together- part of me is really hoping to go on this trip feeling really confident and sexy.
I’ll admit, my motivation was lagging a lot while I was on vacation with the kids. But now, thinking about our anniversary coming up, and the little black dress I would love to toss into my suitcase for our trip- I am feeling that motivation come back full force.
A good portion of the day has been spent planning. Not just what I need to do to get this trip organized, but also what I need to do in the month before hand. I have been working on some goals for August- a workout plan, some new recipe ideas, and just general health/wellness concepts I would like to focus on. I will probably post them at the end of July, to keep myself accountable.
I am hoping that my enthusiasm can last the entire month! I don’t want to slack off, which is something I do all too often. But I’ve been dreaming about a weekend away together for so long- and I can already see it on the horizon!
It’s time to get busy!
