September Marriage and Relationship Goals Update

This month, my marriage and relationship goals were to really connect and be present in the moment when corresponding to family and friends. I feel like this was such an important goal to me especially because I tend to do many things at once and it was getting a little ridiculous! I have way too many things being tossed around in my brain- new quilt ideas, do I have enough fabric for that? emails, blog posts, photography for the blog posts, personal photography ideas, pen and ink drawings, who's birthday is coming up? Gotta go to Hallmark and get cards, should we pull names this Christmas since we all  won't be together for this one? Must complete and upload one project a week... and so on. WAY too much clutter! I did make the planner and honestly, most days I forget about it! On the days I do remember to check it first, it helps, but I'm still not able to just focus! I don't know what the deal is! I think maybe just with the holidays coming up and travel arrangements to be made, I'm just stretched too thin? Not sure, but I need some clarity soon!

My goal seemed simple in the beginning, but it's proving to be a challenge for me. I'm not giving up though! I can do this! Philippians 4:13 is going up as my chalkboard message this week!

Mission Statement:

Monthly Marriage & Relationship Goals are simple goals that we, as wives or girlfriends, can personally make each month in order to strive for the very best in our relationships without ever growing complacent in serving our significant other. Overall, the link-up portion of this series will serve to facilitate accountability as women join together to share encouragement and inspirational motivation for completing challenges each month by beginning with broad goals and working through each week creating more specific goals. At the end of the month, we will summarize what was accomplished, the successes we've had and what we could have done better. We would love for you to link up with us and share your posts on Tuesday each week as we strive in different ways to serve our significant other with more intentionality and purpose.
