Goals for the Week
I'm going to post my goals for the week, at least for a while. I feel like there is much to be done before winter sets in, and one of the best ways I know to actually get things done is to set goals. It helps me focus on things instead of just thinking about how much I have to do and not getting any of it done. It also give me peer pressure, because I don't want to come back in a week and say 'eh, I didn't do that stuff'. Here goes:
Faith
continue the book I'm reading/working through - Days of Deepening Friendship by Vinita Hampton Wright
read Letting God Come Close - An Approach to the Ignatian Spiritual Exercises by William Barry (You may be wondering....no, I'm not Catholic...I just happen to be doing this self-guided study of St. Ignatius and his teachings. I have already read one of Fr. Barry's books and it was really helpful! )
set aside 15 minutes at the beginning of each day for prayer and bible reading
Family
complete a week's worth of school with Daughter
make plan for holiday baking and treats
massage for Husband
Home
begin a menu/recipe binder - set up categories and add the recipes I have for healthy breakfasts
make a winter canning list/list of supplies I'll need
shred and freeze zucchini...or zucchini bread
House
wash/wax front door, clean up front porch
dust ceiling fans, tops of doors, high shelves
clean out linen closet in master bath
Garden
plant rose bush
check carrots, dig them if they're ready
monitor spinach, tomatoes, zucchini and pumpkins
Personal/Health
32 or more ounces of water per day
make/eat lunch salads for the week - 4 days, since I already know we've got lunch plans Friday

Comments
I just came over from The Prudent Homemaker blog and wanted to make a comment since I noticed a pattern in your choice of reading books.Have you read "the Fear of the Lord" by John Bevere?It would be worth your time in my opinion...
