2014 Goals Update for October

Source

Celebrating some beautiful fall weather here this week and looking forward to what November holds!

Here's how I did on meeting my 2014 goals last month.

Spiritual
1.  Review two memory verse passages each month.  I've fallen behind a little bit with this.  The Bible verses I'm reviewing now are ones I memorized more recently, and they're just not stuck in my memory as well as they should be!
2.  Send a note or e-mail of encouragement to someone every week.  Done in October.
3.  Continue writing my "list of gifts" each morning.  Continued in October.
4.  Keep a prayer journal.  Continued in October.
5.  Start each morning listening to good music.  Missed a few mornings, but did fairly well overall.

Personal
1.  Read through my 2014 reading list.  I read two books from my list in October and have six left to read.
2.  Take a cooking class.
3.  Devote 30 minutes a week to writing projects.  I did a little better with this last month, though I wasn't as faithful in completing Jeff Goins' "My 500 Words" project as I would have liked.  Most of the time, I have to discipline myself to sit down and write.

Family
1.  Continue monthly date nights for all.  My husband and I have a date scheduled for Saturday night!
2.  Do one specific thing to encourage my husband each week.  I only did this one week last month.
3.  Plan one special homeschool day each month.  My younger daughter and I went to Magnolia Plantation and Gardens.  We really enjoyed riding the Nature Train and walking through the beautiful gardens.

Physical
1.  Exercise at least 20 minutes a day, 4 times a week.  Done in October.
2.  Eat 3 servings of fruits and vegetables at least 4 days a week.  Done in October.
3.  Follow along with Crystal's 12 Months to a Healthier You Challenge.  October's challenge was to cut back on caffeine.  I drink a Coke maybe once a month; other than that, I drink water, so I didn't really have much to conquer in this challenge.

How are you doing with your current goals?
