Some goals for November

 

Somehow, it's November.  Not sure how it happened, but we are three days in.  Time to set some goals:

* Keep up with Flylady's homemaking zones of the week
* Continue working through the "Make Room Challenge" from Make Room for What You Love
* Post in this blog as often as possible -- hopefully several times per week
* Begin working on December posts for my Christmas blog, and possibly for this one too
* Continue planning for family birthday gifts and crafting any handmade ones
* Stay at our little camp as often as possible
* Volunteer at The Wilds of New England as we are needed
* Enjoy special services with Morris Gleiser at our church November 5-8
* Have friends over for lunch after church
* Craft some homemade Christmas gifts and decorations
* Do some sewing projects ( a few more sachets to stave off musty odors) for the cottage
* Do a couple cleaning/painting projects at the cottage
* Sew 2 pillow quilts for youngest granddaughters
* Spend a little time on some UFO craft projects
* Continue decluttering the entire house, zone by zone
* Continue stocking my Etsy shop and continue selling vintage items
* Continue to work on memorizing the book of James
* 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
* Continue focusing on improving my gut health
* Prepare and teach a ladies' Sunday School class each week
* Host this month's ladies ministry for our church ladies
* Attend a monthly ladies Bible study at a friend's home
* Get back into our study of the book of Daniel with younger believers
* Continue to help a widowed friend with the challenges of life in general
* Drink enough water each day
* Plan and prepare for how and when we will celebrate Thanksgiving
* Complete a 40-day sugar fast just ahead of Thanksgiving
* Walk and/or exercise at least 4 times each week

HEALTHY HABITS FOR NOVEMBER:  Drink more water/get more sleep/get more exercise/intermittent fasting/limit sugar/work on gut health

As always, many of these goals are ongoing ones and will not be finished just because October is past.

  1. "work on gut health"...one of my constant "issues". Let me know if you have any great ideas. Yes, it is amazing that we are already in November! Another year has almost come and gone! They just seem to fly right by! I admire your goal setting and also that you DO actually fulfill some of your goals regularly. I am not very good at goal setting anymore (or keeping). But somehow we manage to get through our days and weeks and months and I look back and say, Hey! We did accomplish quite a bit even without realizing it. God is good to carry us through and complete His plans in us even when we are kind of just coasting along. Thank heavens for God's Holy Spirit at work in and through us! Have a blessed and wonderful month of Thanksgiving!!

  2. Great healthy goals! Well, so many good (and fun) goals for the month. I should write out monthly goals. I think it would keep me focused...and help me as I focus my heart and thoughts on gratitude. Much easier to see all that God is doing and has allowed me to do. I missed that you have a Christmas blog - what fun! Will check that out just now:) Happy Monday to you -
