    2. Ambitious, indeed! I have been getting my "craft room" in some kind of order so that I can start sewing comfortably in there. It's also a sort of guest room where we put a nice large blow-up bed when needed. Anyway, I was getting myself in the mind to finally be able to start working in there and hubs came down with a cold and has now taken over the room so I don't have to share his germs. We're thankful for a spare bed, and I appreciate his not wanting to spread his cold, but I'm really itching to get into the storage closet in there and do some more culling and organizing.

    3. My craft closet, sewing space, Etsy inventory, and computer room are currently sharing space along with a number of bookshelves. It's not a very large room so clearly I have to organize and declutter. I decluttered a bookcase in our bedroom quite ruthlessly last week, so I am feeling inspired.

    1. It's so important and I just don't stay on top of it the way I should.

  3. One more goal (suggestion): don't be hard on yourself if all expectations are not met. Accomplishing even a few of these would be admirable.

  4. You're right, I know! 😊. Don't worry, I will be gentle with myself.

  5. Happy February! Another goal: Enjoy the beauty of winter in New England while it lasts. Stay warm and cozy and healthy, and share the beauty of your lovely area with us as often as possible! May God's peace be yours in the February month of love and joy!

    1. Oh yes! I think I am really enjoying winter this year. It has helped that we didn't have a lot of snow and extreme cold, but that's with us now!

    1. I'm glad you were encouraged, Sue! The intermittent fasting is really a great discipline. I have done it before, but this time hubby is on board too. It really helps!

  7. I enjoy reading through your goals. Thinking I may need to start doing this; I seem to get so much more accomplished when I have a list.
