* Get to bed by 9 pm each night
* Limit sugar and red meat.
* Drink enough water each day.
* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week.
* Do something creative each day
* Post in my Christmas blog at least once or twice weekly
* Post in this blog most weekdays if possible

WORD FOR 2018: Settled
You remain focused and I am not surprised that you achieved so many goals in January.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vee. I am really seeking to remain focused and am thankful that you see it that way. Not resting on my laurels, though.
DeleteWhoa! Those are so BIG lists of goals! Whew! Good luck! You are my hero!
ReplyDeleteWell, they are big lists, I admit, but actually many of the items on them are ongoing. I do what I can in the current month and then continue on with the same goals next month. It's not as impressive as it appears.
