Goals for March


A new month!  How is it that the year is now 1/6 over?  It's time to set some goals for March:

* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones
* Work through the book The 40-Day Sugar Fast for my quiet time
* Post in my blogs as often as possible
* Continue our discipleship study with new believers
* Provide Sunday lunch hospitality for pulpit supply couples at least once this month
* Continue to help our widowed friend Terry with the challenges of life in general
* Finish study for Sunday School -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus
 * Select and begin new study for Sunday School
* Get to bed by 9 pm each night  
* Continue with the 40-day sugar fast
* Pay much more attention to drinking enough water each day
* Read several books
 * Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week
* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week (with some help from Clean Mama)
* Do something creative each day
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Craft some homemade Christmas gifts and decorations
* Spend a little time on some UFO craft projects
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items
* Work on Etsy and trust bookkeeping as necessary
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Do some planning for retirement
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able 
* Continue to encourage and support my hubby as he works through a pastoral search for our church
* Clean church and set up for fellowship time; help provide snacks
* Continue to sort out and declutter my dad's house, hopefully taking many loads to the dump and thrift store and consolidating the remaining items yet to dispose of;  work on estate
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
 
HEALTHY HABITS FOR MARCH:  Drink more water/get more sleep/fast from sugar/walking

HEALTHY HABITS FOR FEBRUARY:  Drink more water/get more sleep/limit sugar/walking -- I have definitely limited sugar beginning in the last full week of February, have walked as often as possible, and have been getting more sleep since my hubby retired and we don't get up as early.  We've gone to bed earlier on a more regular basis, too.

    You sure are doing good with the goals and the motivation! I too have goals but I must say February fell wayward with a long cold and physical ailments.
    Keep it up :)
