Gentle Reminders for the New Year

Often people make New Year's Resolutions, but find it hard to keep them.
If you had a list of gentle reminders posted on the corner of your laptop screen for 2008,

what would those gentle reminders be?

This is the sibling assignment Inland Empire Girl posed to us for the 2008. IEG's gentle reminder list is here, and Raymond Pert's gentle reminders are here.

Mine are below.

1. Start each morning with prayer and reading the Bible.

2. Walk each morning, and add strength training to my routine.

3. Concentrate more on the food I prepare for myself and my family...lower that cholesteral!!

4. Make a schedule to work on my book and finish the first draft by the end of summer.

5. Complete a knitting project each month.

Top Ten Things To Accomplish While My Family Is Gone For Spring Break

10. Work on writing at least three more chapters on the book I am writing about the Silver Valley.












9. Type up a months worth of dinner menus so we can maybe have a few more home cooked meals around here.

8. Type up a Master Grocery List.







7. Pray and seek God’s Wisdom on a variety of issues in my life.









6. Weed the flower beds outside (weather permitting…this is the Silver Valley).





5. Make chore lists for the family so I can see if someone other than me will tackle scooping the cat litter boxes.








4. Make use of the new exercise equipment in the basement every day. My new rule…I can’t blog until I exercise.




3. Do my taxes. Ugh!






2. Tackle some spring cleaning projects inside the house.






1. Take the plastic off the fifth season of Gilmore Girls on DVD that I have been hiding from my daughters in my lingerie drawer and watch it uninterrupted.
