Man...I can think so many negative things that have happened in August BUT...
Really the positive outway the negative, may not seem like it but it does! You just have to flip the way you look at things!

•Walmart hasn’t been out of potstickers all month(addiction is real) 

Things I have learned this month:
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
•chase your goals and dreams-always!
•always believe in yourself! 
•it’s okay for things to take time, because when the time is right it will be meant to be! 
•it’s okay to cry, when your overwhelmed!
•rams can beat you up if your trying to trim their hoof!
•spiny amaranth can go straight through your glove when your pulling it out of a fence-row! Should’ve learned last year after weeding my garden, since I dumped cow manure all over it! Weeds took off to! 
•I do not have to please everyone!
•I CANNOT give up DR.PEPPER. I think I’m an addict! 
•Time for YOURSELF is IMPORTANT!
•people that don’t support you or bring you down, you don’t need them. 
•it’s okay to shut off for a bit, when you get home, it’s okay to put your pjs on and do nothing every once in awhile. 
•horse flies have been terrible this summer! 
•this is a big one....it’s okay to say NO
This is something I never do but then complained or was stressed when all I had to do was say no, you don’t have to please everyone! 
•it’s good to brush you hair every once and awhile and put yourself together! 
•it’s okay to open a new gate in your life or close another! New adventures, another chapter, a closed chapter! 
•people still know who you are in Walmart with a mask on.. so avoiding anyone or trying to get in and out quick won’t happen:)

The list can go on and on.. but I’m gonna leave this here!
