Happy Saturday, friends! I'm glad you're here to link up with me today for Share 4 Somethings, when we talk about some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of this month. I'll jump right in!
I feel fortunate to be able to say that I loved so many things this month!
And meeting the sweetest little one that is the newest addition in my best friend's family. Now that I'm seeing these, I need another baby fix ASAP!
I learned some things this month! I learned that I have a breaking point, that I need to draw more clear boundaries in some of the situations I still have going on in my life, that I owe zero explanations to anyone in my life, that I am a grown woman who can do whatever I want to do and accept the responsibility if it turns out bad. and that some people truly never change.
On a more positive note, I also learned that I really enjoy Bunco night with my friends. This is always a fast, fun, and furious two hours of eating, socializing, and being competitive! I'm not competitive, but this feels healthy. I'm hosting next month, so stay tuned! Also, know that I am grateful for the things I learn from month to month; none of it is easy and there has been a lot of drama in my life lately that I can't talk about here, but it's purposeful and it's making into another stronger (independent) version of myself.
Some things went well this month! I'm always thankful for this.
Another thing that went shockingly well was that even though I haven't been trying very hard to lose weight with WW, my numbers keep going down. I was so surprised when I saw this a couple days ago; I'd been dreading stepping onto the scale, but was pleasantly surprised when I noticed I was down another few pounds. I'll take slow and steady all day long!
I can't necessarily think of things I let go of this month, but I'm always working on lowering my expectations. I feel like this is something I have to super aware of, because in case you've forgotten, I've been known (and called) The Queen of High Expectations all of my adult life. Old habits are hard to break, you know?
I can't wait to read your answers to these prompts this week! Thanks for being here to link up with me, friends. I'm so grateful for all of you! Enjoy the rest of your weekend; love to all!
Jenn ❤️
I'm constantly working on keeping my expectations in check too! Overall it sounds like you had a great month filled with family and friends.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad it's not just me! It was a mostly great month, you are right. I have nothing to complain about!
DeleteDitto on expectations! Your month looks like a good one- getting to see Noah and getting to know J sound like highlights. Keep staying strong- you got this and ANYTHING else that anyone throws your way :). Thanks for the link up!
ReplyDeleteIt's not just me with the expectations! I'm seeing a trend here. It was a great month, and you're right about the highlights. Thank you, my friend!
DeleteLoved reading your answers. You will continue to grow and you are open to this! I am sorry for some not so great situations this month.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's okay; at this point, it's nothing unusual, if I'm being honest. I'm always prepared for something, but I know it always passes. I hope you have a good weekend!
DeleteI saw such a theme in your answers this month: PEOPLE! Yay for relationships. They really keep us going as important experiences, plus to get us through the rocky periods too.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right! I rely heavily on my people.
DeleteI always have to work on lower expectations too. The struggle is real. McKinney was such a highlight of May for me! :)
ReplyDeleteI think it's something that so many of us struggle with! I agree with McKinney; it was such a great weekend. I'm so glad you were able to join us!
DeleteI am glad you have found so much to love this month!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see all of your boys and spending time with J.
So sorry you learned that you have a breaking point. You can indeed do whatever you want.
The Bunco night sounds like great fun! I had to Google what one was, I'd never heard of it before.
Well done with WW.
I love all my time with you! I loved reading these answers!
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to that salad? Reminds me of the puny wilted iceberg lettuce at the old King's Table buffet we used to go to when we were little.
