Summer is officially started, and I hope you are enjoying yours immensely. The weather has been lovely in our little corner of East Texas, and I've enjoyed lots of time in the sun as a result. Bring on the vitamin D!! Watermelon has been on our daily menu this week, as have mile-long walks in the cool of both mornings and evenings. And this week's link list features seven more ways for you to make the most of the summer months. So let's get to it! 7 Sensational Ways to Spend Your Summer:
What I'm reading this week:This week's reader request:This week's reader request comes to you courtesy of my son Gabriel, although he didn't ask for it, per se. I saw him trying to repurpose a summer reading log I designed years ago as a running log, by tracking miles jogged rather than books or hours read. So I volunteered to make him a more appropriate chart for tracking progress on his personal goal of running 100 miles. Here's what I came up with. I've been logging a mile or two every day, as well, although I'm working on establishing lots of other good habits, as well, so I use this chart to track my progress. Exercise is important, so hope you'll make it a priority too (whether you keep track of how far you've gone or not). On the podcast this week:I didn't get a new podcast published this week, but am linking one from the archives on the topic of something else many people do during the summer months for fun, and that is taking family vacations. If you haven't already heard it, I hope you'll listen in. Progress on last week's goals:For the second week in a row, I got everything done on my published to-do list: I ✅ hemmed a dress for my mom, ✅ attended my daughter's graduation dinner, ✅ had a wonderful time playing Clue with friends, ✅ reviewed the book of James & quoted first two chapters to a friend, ✅ dropped another daughter off at the airport, ✅ emptied two more boxes in the garage, ✅ donated Personal goals for this week:
