July’s last Monday. Four days remain before the month becomes memory. Start this final week with both intention and appreciation.

Intention: What will you accomplish before July ends? Set a clear, achievable goal. Something you can point to and say, this is what July’s final week produced.

Appreciation: July has been generous. Long days, warm weather, summer’s fullness. Before you rush toward August, appreciate what this month has held.

Hold both. Work toward your goal and appreciate what surrounds you. The two are not in conflict.

What is your intention for July’s final days?
