Make homemade pesto: I have 3 basil plants in a planter outside of my kitchen sink window that I water and check on everyday in hopes of snipping some leaves for pesto without leaving it looking naked & ashamed on the roots. After visiting the local farmer's market on Saturday, I left with 4 small bunches a grower friend gave me so she wouldn't have to take them back home. (My own basil plants thanked me immediately for giving them a little extra time to "bush out.") On Sunday, I made my first batch of homemade pesto using this recipe (substituting almonds for pine nuts), and it is SO delicious with the perfect amount of garlic kick.
Blog at least 3 times a week: realizing that it is the middle of July...better late than never!! I'm well on my way this week....
Write a letter a week: it's not a matter of not having the right stationary (good gosh, I have a whole suitcase full), and making the time in JUST ONE day to sit down. I really don't know what my problem is with this particular goal. WAIT!! I wrote 2 letters last week that went out with a little package...wouldn't that count for two weeks worth?!?
Read two books that are not reference books: I am happy to report that I am halfway there having just completed Gone Girl (thanks to the power outage) and I'm actively searching for my second one. Any suggestions?
Worry less about the things I cannot change: this one goes without saying...TOUGH. But, I am doing better. I know that's it's best for me and my health to realize that I can't control things that I see my family and friends do that I know are totally bad for them, but it's only affecting ME to worry. People are going to do what they're going to do. I know I do, but sometimes ya can't help but be concerned when you see so clearly the negative effects of their bad choices. I just want to decrease the amount of worry and sort of pick my battles, so to speak.
Do you have any goals for this month that you are working on?
