* Add 4 pages to my "What Do I Know About My God?" Scripture notebook
* Continue study for Sunday School -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus
* Get to bed by 9 pm each night  
* Limit sugar and red meat.
* Drink enough water each day.
* Walk and/or exercise each day.

  1. Demonstrable goals to be sure! You see, at a glance, what was done on your goals’ list. See? I am just starting to catch on. 😁 My approach is far more willy-nilly. For example, I decide each morning what really must be accomplished. Today it was watering the flowers and clearing the dining room table. No wonder you get so much accomplished!

    1. I tend to make a short list of priorities each morning too, Vee. And I don't always get everything crossed off!

  2. I think I need either a nap or another cup of coffee. Good goals. I might try this. I love making lists.

    1. Yes, give it a try! You know, nearly every morning I feel as if I need a nap or another cup of coffee.

      Seriously, though, posting goals gives one idea for a blog post every month!
