WORD FOR 2018: Settled
🍉 🌿 🌸 🍉 🌿 🌸 🍉 🌿 🌸 🍉 🌿 🌸 🍉
And here is how May went:* Finish up an informal study of Charles Swindoll's Come Before Winter for my quiet time -- done!
* Pick up with my study of Colossians after finishing the above -- 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 -- A Woman Who Reflects the Heart of Jesus -- done!
* Get to bed by 9 pm each night -- not done consistently
* Limit sugar and red meat -- really fell down on this in May
* Drink enough water each day -- not done, I'm sure
* Walk and/or exercise each day -- I'm thinking I walked 25 days out of the 31 -- not bad at all!
* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week -- not done, though I'm making progress
* Do something creative each day -- done!
* Post in my Christmas blog at least once or twice this month -- done! (glad I set the bar low on this one!)

* Declutter and reorganize my closet -- not done
* Declutter and revamp computer room -- I did start on this; decluttered lots of magazines that I wished I could have kept, but I need that shelving for my Etsy items ... so out they went, with me on the verge of tears the entire time.
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able -- done!
* Continue to encourage and support my hubby as he works through a pastoral search for our church -- done!
* Clean church and set up for potluck meal -- done!

* Start serious planning for our next trip out West -- done!
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating -- done!
MAY'S HEALTHY HABITS: Drink enough water/exercise/eat healthfully -- May was a mixed bag as far as this was concerned. I did lots of walking but know I didn't drink enough water. Some days, nowhere near enough. I did plan (and we did eat) meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating. But we also consumed several hamburgers during this month, several doughnuts, and "fair food" galore at the Loggers' Expo. (We do try and handle this more wisely by just getting one of whatever we order and sharing it.)
WORD FOR 2018: Settled -- Still clinging to this.
And hoping for a productive month in June!
Drinking enough water is my biggest challenge and I have the added incentive in trying to prevent kidney stones. Lately, I have given up morning coffee to drink a bottle of water. Then I don’t feel like having coffee. Wah!
ReplyDeleteI keep plugging away praying The Lord will help me with this one.
You get so much accomplished in a month that I am always amazed. Maybe I need to try lists. 😊
I can certainly pray for you in this, Vee. It's not so hard when it's really hot out and I don't feel like drinking coffee. But even still, I know I don't get enough water.
ReplyDeleteOh, Vee, I don't think I get all that much accomplished in a month. I know people (at least one of them quite a bit older than myself) who can work circles around me! I tend to look more at what I *didn't* get done rather than what I did, which I know is not wise.
I do recommend lists. They don't have to be long. Just a short list of priorities each day. Even then I don't accomplish all of them in a day. And I do recommend fitting what you have to do into a tentative time schedule so that tasks can be done in the most effective time slot. For example, folding laundry or making a grocery list can go into a late afternoon slot because neither takes much energy. For something that takes a lot of thought, I try to do that before lunch. For something that takes only (only! Ha!) physical energy, I do those tasks between mid-morning and early afternoon. Just some hints that have helped me.
Your goals are always daunting to me but look how much you accomplish!! Yes to drinking more water. I am guilty of not getting enough hydration. Do keep us posted!
ReplyDeleteI just don't feel like I accomplish that much, Terri. It seems like I should manage to accomplish more than I do. I only set goals, as I've mentioned before, because if I aim at nothing I will be sure to hit it!
