Definitely hoping for a more productive month in May!
Great goals and you can see your accomplishments! I read Come Before Winter! Such a good book!
ReplyDeleteI do a master year goals in January and record them in my Country Diary. Then at the end of the year, I update the list. Some things - like replacing the kitchen counter tops - have been on the list for years! It’s still there!
Wow, Linda. You are very organized with your yearly goals. That may be something we can start to do when my hubby retires!
DeleteI had read Come Before Winter previously -- it was given to me by a friend who had an extra copy -- and I really liked it. I thought it would be an extra dose of encouragement to actually spend some time studying the Scriptures referenced in the Come Aside section for each reading. I'm almost done with that and it has been very beneficial. And now I have an entire notebook full of encouragement from all I've learned.
Wonderful answer to do something creatively every day. 🙂 I loved it!
ReplyDeleteIt seems I am constantly needing to brainstorm or come up with a creative solution for something -- so I may as well count it as creativity!
DeleteI sure do admire you for setting exact goals and then accomplishing so many of them! Kudos!
ReplyDeleteOh, but there are still so many more left undone, Terri. I just set goals so I will have something to aim at. Hopefully they are all moving me toward my overall purpose in doing all to the glory of God.
DeleteThanks for your kind and encouraging words!
And I thought my DO list was long...you're making me tired!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Julie! As I mentioned to Terri above, I just set goals to have something to aim at. I honestly don't intend to make other people feel bad. If I don't set goals, I will just take things easy and let them slide. Not a good idea for me.
