And here is how things went in January:* Spend time reflecting on 2016 and consider my goals for 2017 -- although I've thought about this a bit, I have not found time to really reflect and plan. And now, as my Nevada daughter reminded me yesterday, the year is already 1/12 over!
* Begin an informal study of Come Before Winter, by Charles Swindoll, for my quiet time -- done!
* Memorize at least 4 Bible verses and review some older ones -- done!
* Add 4 to 8 pages to my "What Do I Know About My God?" Scripture notebook -- done!
* Continue study for Sunday School -- Following God With All Your Heart -- done!
* Decide what our next Sunday School study will be -- done!
* Exercise or walk at least 20 times -- not done
* Get to bed by 9:30 pm each night -- probably 2/3 of the time, we got to bed this early.
* Limit sugar and red meat -- did great limiting red meat, not so much for sugar.

Oh my. Your list would slay me. Good thing it is YOUR list. Your daughter has a way with words! Ha!
ReplyDeleteWell, you notice I don't usually accomplish all of my goals each month -- and some of them are ongoing anyway. I just make a list to give myself something to aim at, and to be thankful for what I do manage to accomplish.
ReplyDeleteWell I am thoroughly impressed with your goals! I am full on intrigued by the post in your Christmas blog twice a week? I see it now and in your side post so I am going to check it out. Good luck on all of this!
ReplyDeleteOh, don't be overly impressed, Debbie. I do set goals so I will have something to aim at, but (as I said to Vee above) you will notice that I seldom, if ever, accomplish them all.
ReplyDeleteGlad you found your way over to my Christmas kitchen and that you're enjoying your visit!
