Somehow it is August, so it's time to set a few goals for the month:
* Post in this blog as often as possible
* Post in my Christmas blog as often as possible
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Continue reading through the One-Year Chronological Bible
* Continue with the book Fix Your Focus for my Sunday Scripture series
* Continue studying and preparing for my ladies' Sunday School class
* Continue through the wonderful Daily Grace Co. study of Habakkuk, Even If (this is intended to be a 3-week study; it has taken me months since I only work on it on Saturdays)
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Keep up with Flylady's zones of the week
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
* Continue meeting with my young friend R. for discipleship
* Spend quality time at our little camp; plan some staycation time
* Get to bed by 8:30 each night we are at home
* Drink enough water each day
* Continue with the habit of getting outdoors for the morning light
* Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week
* Help with our church's outreach at the local outdoor market
I thought we went to bed early around 9-9:30! 8:30 isn't hardly even dark here these days...just barely! You must get up really early. We get up around 5:30-6 a.m. I love mornings best of all too. It's been too hot the rest of the day to do much of anything outside, so if you want to get it done, get it done early. I hope you have a happy, healthy, and prosperous August!!
ReplyDeleteWe get up around 5:15 or a little later, but we seem to need more sleep as we age. We head towards bed at 8:30 but then there is all the routine of getting ready. It's usually 9 or 9:15 before we actually get in bed.
DeleteHope you have a wonderful August as well, Pam!
Your August goals are admirable, Mrs. T. Two stopped me - bedtime at 8:30 sounds impressive and must mean you're up very early. And sending 4 encouraging notes to family and friends. What a great way to be intentional about nurturing relationships, and encouraging people.
ReplyDeleteWe try and "head" for bed around 8:30. It's usually 9 or 9:15 before we are actually in bed. We try to get up between 5:15 and 5:30.
DeleteYes, since I set that goal about writing the encouraging notes, it really does help to keep me doing so. Some months I write more than four.
