It’s MONDAY!! 🎉🎉 As I start another week, I’ve been thinking about intentionality and what that means in my own life. I know how easy it is for me to get caught up in what comes next. The next goal. The next project. The next thing I want to improve, accomplish or experience. I don’t necessarily think that’s a bad thing. I enjoy growing, learning and continuing to push myself. But I also don’t want to become so focused on what’s next that I miss what’s happening right now. So one of the things I’m trying to be more intentional about is appreciating the life I’m actually living while I’m living it. Being intentional about how I show up. How I treat people. The effort I put into my work. The things I choose to learn. The people I make time for. Even something as simple as getting dressed in the morning and deciding how I want to present myself to the world. And alongside all of that, being intentional about gratitude. I’m thankful to have another Monday. Another week of opportunities, challenges, mistakes, conversations, experiences and hopefully a little more growth. I’m also thankful for the people in these groups. I’ve learned a tremendous amount from many of you, enjoyed getting to know you, and genuinely appreciate having a place to share some of the things I enjoy and some of the things I’m figuring out along the way. That’s where my head is on this fine Monday: keep moving forward, but don’t move so quickly that I forget to appreciate where I am. Today’s OOTD felt appropriate for that mindset as well — simple, comfortable and intentional. White shirt, blue trousers, tan shoes and the Panama getting some proper summertime use. 😎 I hope everyone has a wonderful Monday. I’m certainly thankful to have another one. 🎉👏 Wishing you all a wonderful Monday!

My first Citizen watch. Going to use this to replace my smartwatch on a day to day basis. I fell in love with the aviation style when I first saw one. This one having the 24hr is a nice bonus. I'll need a black band for it at some point so I can match leathers. My only other non smartwatch is a Fossil diver with 3 sub dials I got over 20 years ago. That one is a little beat up.
