It's been a fairly productive week, despite some "obstacles". It feels so good to get things crossed off my list....I've actually been able to see my list physically shrinking! So there is that much to be thankful for :)
But I'm sure I can find other things to be thankful for.......

.....for a nice trip to Phoenix (792)
.....for time in warmer weather (793)
.....the possibility of feeling better soon (794)
.....watching my children work hard and see good results (795)
.....making plans for a visit with a faraway friend (796)
.....care packages in the mail from "moms" (797)
.....the opportunity to teach (798)
.....financial blessings (799)
.....a long distance friend to "study" with (800)
.....accomplishments (801)
.....quiet early mornings (802)
.....upcoming Bible studies (803)
....a wonderful, Godly mechanic (804)
.....the most amazing full moon last night (805)
.... continuing education (806)
.... safety in many travels (807)
.... phone calls from WV (808)
....that my kids like to "snuggle" (809)
.... time alone at the barn, quietly cleaning (810)
.... the minor prophets (811)
....the faithfulness of God all through the ages (812)
.....His promises to ME (813)

February Goals

Well, it's a new month and a new opportunity to get much accomplished! Last month ended well....there were a few things I couldn't seem to find time to do, but for the most part I am pleased with the outcome.

I did manage to lose 'almost' 3 pounds for the month....2.5.....so close! I could have done better with my exercising....jump roping never made it into the daily schedule, but I really enjoyed the aerobics class I joined and I started working out with weights regularly. And I have hopes of training for another race this spring (if the ground would ever thaw out enough here to be able to run without all the mud!!).
I haven't finished my CS Lewis biography but making progress....and the guitar dvds never found their way out of the cabinet.....sadness! One day......
I accomplished all my "social" goals and had great fellowship with many friends.
I did not get "alone" time with each kid and that is inexcusable....that needs to be a bigger prioritiy.
I did get most of my 'spiritual' goals accomplished and have really enjoyed my Inductive Bible study.....God's Word is so full of amazing truths and lessons just for me (or so it feels sometimes!).
And minus getting the first edition of "campfire news" done, I completed all my "camp" tasks, and then some!
So overall, a fairly successful month......some victories, some defeats....but God is still good through it all~
