NOVEMBER'S HEALTHY HABITS:  Drink enough water/exercise/eat healthfully

WORD FOR 2016: FAITHFULNESS

And here's how October went:
* Write out a passage from God's Word each day -- DONE!
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones -- DONE!
* Add 4 pages to my "What Do I Know About My God?" Scripture notebook -- I didn't get four done, maybe two or three.  Since I am writing out Scripture each day, I will suspend this goal until the new year.
* Continue study for Sunday School -- Following God With All Your Heart -- DONE!
* Exercise or walk at least 20 times -- maybe 15 times; most were not long walks.
* Get to bed by 9:30 pm each night -- accomplished this for about half the month, I'd say. 
* Limit sugar and red meat -- -- DONE! for the red meat, not doing as well with sugar.
* Drink enough water each day -- this habit definitely needs work.
* Keep up with Kelly's missions in homemaking zones of the week -- not kept up with very well, but things are getting done.
* Post in this blog every day and in my Christmas blog as often as possible  -- DONE!
 * Plan and create gifts for November birthdays -- all were planned, but only one completed.
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family -- DONE!
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able -- not as much as I'd have liked to.
* Clean church and set up for potluck meal -- DONE!
* Attend a couples' retreat -- DONE!
* Continue trying to help and encourage my elderly dad -- DONE!
* Sort out and declutter my dad's house -- still working at this project.

OCTOBER'S HEALTHY HABITS:  Drink enough water/exercise/eat healthfully -- these still need work so I'm setting the same goal for healthy habits in November.
