Down the Rabbit Hole

October 1st - Goals

30-Day Blogging Challenge
OCT 1 Prompt: What are your goals for October?
Personal or professional, big or small...doesn't matter! We want to encourage you!

This time of year tends to always be height of my busy season at work. The early autumn weather tends to be mild here in Southern New England and the blue skies make for good flying weather. That translates into very busy work weeks for me. This is also an October that happens to host our biggest corporate event of the year and my little sister's wedding...on the same weekend. I feel stressed to say the least. This is my favorite month despite the crush and I'm looking forward to a Fall season ripe with festivals, hayrides, orchard visits and of course, Halloween. Typically this is a month when my muse is easily inspired by indigo autumn skies and swollen harvest moons but I anticipate having little chance to write, let alone submit anything to the various publication deadlines I optimistically marked for tracking. All the same, I'm making it one of my goals to try to blog at least every day, at least every week day.

I would very much like to bring back our annual Halloween party this month. We recently moved into a new home and I would like to bring back one of my favorite traditions now that we have ample space. First I have to get through my event and the wedding, then I hope to find the energy to pull something together in time to celebrate my favorite holiday with friends and family.

Lastly, all my other goals for the month of October center squarely around my sister's nuptials. I have to keep her calm and get her down with aisle with minimal drama and then I have to nail my Maid of Honor speech!
