August always tends to be a laid back month.  April, May, June, July are jam packed, but when events start to trickle in for August, i tend to hold it more spaciously, to say no.   Last year i spent it in home retreat; with the help of m, i didn’t leave the house ,  talk on the phone, go on the computer, read any fiction, watch any movies or TV. It still went faster than one would imagine!

This year I hadn’t quite decided what to do with the spaciousness i’ve held around August.  I thought about doing my own nanawrimo, because i have a book in me that keeps trying to get out.  i’ve always wanted to do it but this november i’ll be doing a 10 day retreat.

Then i saw this.

I’m terrible about documenting our life with pictures.  I have good intentions, but then i usually forget and rely on others.  This looks like a good opportunity to be mindful, to pay attention to what’s around me, to make a commitment for August.  The photos may not be great, and i may miss days and that’ll be ok.  Join me if you’d like, and let me know so I can check out your pics!
