August, you had some of the highest highs and lowest lows-Literally and figuratively. Thanks for the memories and let’s give September a hint, there shouldn’t be any funny business.

Here are some words that were prominent during my month:
Excitement/// This month was full of unusual excitement- like the world of thrift shopping, getting a coffee at 7/11 and a day alone.
Hot/// Another hot month; I get it, you’re August, but you don’t really have to be that hot. Let me tell you, day drinking on a golf course in HOT weather does not get you drunk at all. It gets you hydrated. HAHAHA
Decision/// With all the weirdness and LOTS of thinking last month, I made my decision and it was a tough decision to verbalize. I am happy in the end that I made that decision; it ended up surprising a lot of people and I learned a lot from my decision (more than I ever thought I would)

Emoji of the month:
🎉
Feeling of surprise, celebration, achievement, happiness and a good time.
In a twisted way, this emoji was supposed to represent something totally different but in the end, it represented my happiness and my surprise where I spoke my truth and did what was best for me. That in it self, is a call for a celebration.

Flashback
In 2022, so.many.adventures; in 2021, emotionally better; Chicago Fire binge and dating myself; in 2020, a mystery flamingo appeared, reading again and feeling more like myself; in 2017, my first 5K; and finally in 2015, I was painting, doing yoga, my very first Crohn’s Confidential post and sharing my daily musings.

Gym Update
No gym again but I spent 5 days moving. I walked 18 holes on a golf course one Sunday and then ran a 5K on a Saturday. I did some heavy lifting as well, that counts right?

Looking Forward
New beginnings; starting over; resiliency and lots of introspection.
