What are your goals for February?
Sounds like you have a balanced goals set.. I need to do this too.. I generally... make a plan for a certain task and when it is finished. I make another goal.. Your idea is very well thought out.. I like it..
ReplyDeleteHow are you doing going to work? Hope your strength is building back up.. Know it takes a long time.. Praying for you.
Thank you, Judy. I decided to go with goals in different areas of my life at a time when I felt one or two areas were dominating my life and taking all my time and I felt other areas were being neglected. Sometimes, I have more areas I work on; other times, I limit it to fewer areas.
DeleteGoing back to the office has been tiring. I'm fine once I am at the office, but the getting up early, the hour long commute each way, etc., is still difficult. But, I think, it will get better over time. Still taking it one day at a time. Thank you for keeping me in your prayers.
I really like how you have organized your goals! I hope you have success in meeting them. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Laura. They give me something to strive towards. :)
DeleteYou have some wonderful goals there, many are ones that you and I share my friend. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debbie. Having goals in common is a good thing, isn't it?
DeleteHope all is well with you.
