Goal Setting: Week of June 25, 2016

This has been a challenging week for me, as I was supposed to begin one new job, began one new remote position, and suffered through a lot of back pain.  The pain has been severely limiting my ability to accomplish much, and my goals reflect that.  I just hope that the new medicine the doctor gave me will kick in soon so I can get back on that productivity train! Here's what I actually accomplished this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Work on 1 cross stitch color Physical: No soda 8 c. of water…

This time, though, I think I've had something good come out of all of this thinking, and I wanted to…

Goal Setting: Week of June 19, 2016

Even though it's been a couple weeks (once again) since I set goals, my goals are pretty much the same.  I have yet to accomplish much; we've been busy running errands and going to appointments and such things so life has been busy.  This week is still going to be busy, but hopefully I can squeeze out a couple of accomplishments.  We'll see how that goes. Here are my goals this week: Spiritual: Devotions (5/7) Designated prayer time (1/7) Mental: Journal (1/7) Work on 1 cross stitch color Physical: No soda 8 c. of water daily (3/7) Exercise (3/7) Relationships:…

Just as I was sitting at my computer today trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing next, it occurred to me that we have been wrapped up in busy-ness for two weeks now--the entire summer vacation thus far.  Every spare moment seems filled with trips to the grocery store and appointments, appointments, appointments.  And here and there a fun…
