Sundays

 As much as I love Saturdays, there's something about Sundays that I just adore. I always seem to get a lot done, yet it feels relaxed. Sunday is also a day that I feel especially aware of God. I am taking a class at church on Tuesday nights, and this week's focus is about listening to your heart and hearing God through the noise of life. This quote says it all...
grateful.
I hope I can hang on to this thought through the week...
 
What quotes inspire you?

26 before 26

 
 
Right around the start of 2014 I decided to make a list of 26 things I want to do or accomplish before I turn 26. Ever since I made the list I have been really motivated to make each day and opportunity count- it's amazing the power of setting goals! The hardest part of the process so far has been making the list. Thankfully, there are many similar lists or 101 in 1001 challenges out there to use as inspiration.


26 before 26

(just started one!)

2-workout everyday for a week (completed on 2/11)

3-lose 10 pounds
 (about half way there :) )

4-read 26 books
(I need to get going on this...)

5-give up meat for a week

6-volunteer

7-write letters to graduating seniors
(a tradition at my school)

8-get makeup done from a high end counter

9-plan a vacation
(Charleston SC??)

10- randomly bake cookies for school

11- do a paint and wine class

12- eat on "The Hill"
(yum!)

13- go to the zoo

14- get more art for bedroom

15-plant a garden

16-get a massage
(just bought a Groupon for one)

17-buy a lottery ticket

18-get a pedicure

19-go ice skating

20-try a body pump class at the gym

21-get dessert at Cheesecake Factory

22-make a Pinterest craft

23-donate blood

24-go to a blow dry bar

25-bring hubby lunch at work

26-give up soda for Lent
 

I made this list a little late in the game- a little over 5 months until my 26th birthday. My 27 before 27 list will definitely have bigger, long term goals... but until then I'm excited to keep crossing things off!
