Due to a recent transplant rejection scare, I’ve lost track of June 2019. It took up a lot of brain power and time, but thankfully was just a scare. Though it’s really time to take myself in hand and make some changes.
I seem to recall I felt quite positive at the end of the month, and it amazes me that seems so long ago I can barely remember it.
I do remember there were exciting trips to the State Library Victoria to look at journals, and the Emerging Writer’s Festival which was interesting and educational.
Virtue | May | Jun | Notes |
Beauty: body I enjoy exercising my lean, healthy 59 kg body several times a week. โข Eat < 5g of salt and sugar per day. โข Walk 10,000 steps per day. โข Sleep 8 hours each night. | ๐ฎ 70.5 kg | ๐ 70.2 kg | Lost a wee bit of weight, not getting my steps up, nor sleeping very well. Started researching nutrition again. This time I want to develop an implementation plan as well. |
Beauty: presence I have thick glossy hair that compliments my beautiful clothes. | ๐ | ๐ | Got my hair cut into a bob, but was mistaken for a conservative at the Emerging Writers Festival and have since seen memes about Karen who wants to talk to the manager. Now I want to get something edgier… Naturally, I developed a Conference Outfit. |
Beauty: home I live in a comfortable home that soothes my soul. | ๐ | ๐ | A very busy month meant I could barely keep up with the housekeeping let alone progress any of my projects. |
Beauty: garden My garden is lush and abundant, providing habitats, weather protection and a mystical threshold. | ๐ | ๐ | More winter tidying, still no sign of that garden plan. |
Friendship: friends I love meeting new people, and as I am friendly and outgoing, I make friends easily. | ๐ | ๐ | One of my key hopes from the Writers Festival was to make some writing friends, and maybe start a group to support each other. So, I chatted, went out to lunch, handed out my business cards and now weโll have to wait and see if anything comes of it. Wrote a Blitz Dinner Party. |
Friendship: creatures My creatures are happy and healthy and find my garden a haven. | ๐ | ๐ | Poor pretty girl wasn’t happy while I was away. She got sick, and spent some time sulking in her kennel. Happily our ring and bush tailed possums are thriving, as are the birds. |
Friendship: contribution I share my knowledge, time, and money with those who need it. | ๐ | ๐ | Did some chatting at the festival… |
Pleasure: adventure I am brave and adventurous not afraid to try new things. | ๐ | ๐ | As I mentioned, there was the Festival… Wrote six short stories and thought about the logic of creativity. |
Pleasure: recharge I work hard and have the right to rest and recharge. โข Turn the computer off by 7 pm. โข Read 78 books in 2019. | ๐ | ๐ | June’s books include; The Kiss Quotient, Alex, Approximately, How Not To Die, and The Killing Room. |
Wisdom: growth I learn and grow every day. โข Visit a historically or culturally significant venue or event each month. | ๐ | ๐ | I’ve been wondering how to structure my time. And how to prioritise which projects to work on next. And writing applications for a couple of mentorship programs in the hope a professional writer can help me out with that. Offered suggestions about preserving your private papers for posterity, and minding your business. |
June 2019 in the productivity journal has many satsified stickers. Partly the short stories, and partly because I progressed some of my other projects.
How did you get on in June?
