FEBRUARY MINI GOALS

I told you that I set my patio up again...after the visit from the winter ice. Unfortunately, it has been raining most of the time since then but I have been able to sit out a bit.

The cats...they decided to stay in today. Dale was not happy with me when I took this picture...

Chip didn't even bother to look up...

So, I decided I needed a bit of prompting to get back on schedule. Thus, some mini-monthly goals:
  1. Finish and mail the Ornaments Galore project that I am hosting at Roses On My Table
  2. Attend at least five Mardi Gras parades
  3. Visit and take pictures of several more places in the area
  4. Lose five pounds
  5. Finish planning blog posts for this month
  6. Take some special time for myself (sad anniversary)
  7. Finish reading two books: one fiction and one non-fiction
  8. Finish three journal pages: One for each group that I participate in
  9. Re-organize the trailer for traveling: Leaving on the 22nd
  10. Walk twice a day, knee permitting
Those ten goals don't seem to be too hard to do to me. What about you? Do you make monthly goals? I find that it is easy to let time slip by if I don't engage in goal planning. But I know folks who don't seem to need that extra push to get things done. Maybe they know something that I don't know!!!

Speaking of goals, I have begun one journal page. It's not finished by a long shot but here is what I have so far. It's on thick handmade paper and I used cutouts from a newspaper and stamping ink. Next step is gesso and paint...

While reading blogs this morning, I was impressed by an article at the Be More With Less Blog about busyness. The article is called 'When Breath Meets Busy'. It might be worth your time to check it out.

That's all today folks. There's a new monthly thought and a new weekly journal prompt posted.  You may want to check out...

Thanks for stopping in...
See you tomorrow...
