June's Goals

All sorts of planned things did not happen in May. But all sorts of wonderful things beyond the reach of goals also occurred.

• I did have a friend and her sweet baby over for dinner. Check.
• 15 posts? No. But I did blog regularly, which is, I suppose, the point.
• I completed C.S. Lewis' The Abolition of Man and Jon Acuff's Quitter. 
• I practiced...more. Still not enough. The journey continues.
• I sent some thank-yous and listed some  gifts.

I also enjoyed: 

• a fabulous visit from the sister and cousin which involved a lot of much-needed girl-time.
• a memorable trek out to Colorado.
• our house's annual barbecue, attended this year by over a hundred people.

Yes, despite clumsily achieved goals, May was a glorious month. I can't wait to see what the summer holds.

Goals for June:

• Try a few new recipes.
• Write 15 blog posts.
• My next class is looming near. I'd like to jump-start some of the assigned reading.
• Complete Jane Austen's Sandition, William Deresiewicz's A Jane Austen Education, and Emily Freeman's Grace for the Good Girl. I also plan to attempt anew Victor Hugo's Les Miserables. 
• Get into some kind of regular practice routine.
