Some goals for August

 

Graphic from Baptist Bible Hour

 And suddenly it's August.  Once again I am just not sure how this year is passing by so quickly.  I am more determined than ever to make each day count.  To that end (I hope) here are some goals for August:

* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week
* Continue reading through the New Testament
* Post in this blog several times per week
* Post in my Christmas blog as often as possible
*  Attend a monthly ladies' Bible study
*  Plan and prepare for our Nevada family's visit in September
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Craft some homemade Christmas gifts and decorations
* Help my hubby with some work at our little cottage (an outdoor shower is on our list)
* Do some sewing projects (sachets to stave off musty odors, plus maybe curtains) for the cottage
* Spend a little time on some UFO craft projects
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items
* Spend some time on my trust responsibilities
* Write at least 4 encouraging notes to friends and family
* Help and encourage my local daughter as I'm able
* Plan meals with a greater emphasis on healthy eating
* Memorize several Bible verses and review some older ones
* Get back into our study of the book of Daniel with younger believers
* Continue working on and teaching a ladies Sunday School class
* Continue to help a widowed friend with the challenges of life in general
* Drink enough water each day
* Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week

HEALTHY HABITS FOR AUGUST:  Drink more water/get more sleep/get more exercise/limit sugar

 And there are some goals for August!  We will see how I do.  Lots to accomplish before our NV family arrives for a short visit early in September.

What about you?  How is your summer going?  Do you have any specific goals for this month?
