May Goals

It's the first of May and time for May Goals.  My goals don't change much from month to month, but that's OK with me.  I just want to make sure that all areas of my life are touched upon and I can look back at the end of the month and know that I actually got some things done.

Spiritual: Continue with daily devotions/meditations; attend the special ceremony at the temple; monthly prayer meeting, if possible.

Environment:
- Outside: Continue to spruce up the front garden: plant more drought tolerant plants/succulents, etc.  Took one step towards that, today, and planted some succulents along the side wall.

- Inside: Continue to clean and declutter;  go through each room; get the donations organized and call for a pick up.

Daughter:  Provide long-distance support as she studies for finals during the first half of the month; enjoy her visit over Memorial Day weekend.  :)

Family:  Spend time with cousins visiting from overseas.

Friends:  Get together with a couple of friends to share a meal; email/phone calls/video chat, etc.

Career:  Continue to manage work load efficiently.

Finances:  Continue to keep a spending log.  Keep to the grocery budget of $75.   

Health:  Big goal is better health!  I had a doctor's appointment today; I have a sinus infection!  Since the symptoms started in mid March, I guess I've had it for at least 6 weeks!  I just thought I was having allergies!  I was prescribed antibiotics and a sinus rinse; did some lab work, too, and made an appointment for a physical for next month.  Need to improve nutrition (increase vegetables/decrease sweets), get more exercise and more sleep.  Lose 5 lbs. by the end of the month.

Leisure/Crafts/Hobbies:  Continue to sew from fabric stash: new lunch bag for myself; 1-2 summer nightdresses; 1 blouse; mend 1 skirt; 2 library visits.

Productivity and Time Management:  Continue to make efficient use of my time and be more productive: weekly cleaning routines; meal planning; bulk cooking; etc. 


Do you make monthly goals?  Have you made any for May?
