Goals for this week...

I went out on a limb and posted my goals for the week last Monday, knowing full well that I might not accomplish a one of them and then I'd have to come back here and "face" all of you...but I did it anyway.  And, I'm thankful for the accountability that it provided.  I'm also trying to be realistic and I *try* to be a go-with-the-flow person and realize that even the best plans get interrupted.

I'm happy to report that some of my goals are crossed through...and some are not.  But...it's okay, and for some of them I will try again this week...knowing that they may or may not be accomplished.  But, progress is being made, and if nothing else, I am mindful of things that I need to be mindful of. 

So here's where we stand after last week...

Personal

~ Complete 5 days worth of Luke study and Proverbs study (each)

~ Finish The Ministry of Motherhood

~ Get halfway (or more) through Made to Crave (finished it! easy read, couldn't put it down!)
~ Record 3 gifts each day and take pictures where applicable

Health & Well Being

~ Meet water quota every day (met it 2 days, came close 2 days, not EVEN close 1 day)

On some of those, it's that little phrase "every day" that really got me.  But, again...I will keep striving and in the process I'm accomplishing good.
