I have an extra month in my calendar, Nextember. It’s not year specific, it just… is. Nextember is when I “schedule” moments of my life that aren’t in my foreseeable future, or perhaps not in my future at all… but still linger, there in my heart as desires. Some things I have penciled-in are huge wishes, some are simple yet loaded conversations yet to be had, some are moments that I want for no other purpose than just for me.
All of them represent a longing. A discontentment of sorts, even in the midst of happiness.
Some of them represent corners of my heart marked fragile and confidential.
All of them are things I need to surrender- not just hold loosely, but let go of. And that’s just…hard.

mmmm, the actual let go rather than hold loosely is…hard. time to do my own “nextember” heart check and see what the “Dr” finds to that needs to be let go of…

I DON’T HAVE A NEXTEMBER, BUT I HAVE A ‘DOWN THE ROAD’ I START ON MONDAY’, NEXT YEAR WE WILL DO IT, IF ONLY , AND ON AND ON….. LEARNING TO LIVE IN THE MOMENT AND APPRECIATING ALL THAT IS IN MY LIFE NOW IS SOMETHING THAT I AM TRYING TO DO. LIFE IS SHORT ENJOY WHAT YOUR LIFE IS BRINGING YOU NOW AND ALLOW GOD TO GOD AND IN CONTROL.

I love this concept. I’m going to have to borrow it. Thank you for allowing me a peek into your wisdom.
Blessings, friend.

Lacy- you peek any time you want girl… I’m more inclined to say ramblings than wisdom… but I appreciate your words

my nextember is usually more filled with all the things “i’ll get to someday” than it is with hopes and dreams.
