I'm trying to really focus on my goals this month, after a not so successful October. We're one week into November, and here's how things are going.

What about you? How are you doing with your November goals?
My November goals are self care, period. Daughter will be home on the 21 for Thanksgiving, and we have fun stuff planned as a family. And, I have been commenting long enough for you to know that “fun stuff “ means little more than sitting around the hearth watching the candles burn as we laugh uproariously at ourselves. I do have one day planned of lunch and shopping with Daughter. I plan on finishing all my Christmas cards, and starting a quilt for a friend. I also have arranged a guest speaker for our LD meeting, and will be there for that. Even that seems like a full month for me. I guess I am just tired…

Your version of fun stuff sounds fantastic. So glad your daughter will be home for Thanksgiving. Sam is flying in on Wednesday night, as he only has a few days off. I'm sure he'll want to spend most of his time with his girlfriend (young love), so we'll need to decide what we want to do as a family. (HP)
DeleteI have got to get busy. November is here and I have a ton of things to get done and so far have not done them. Time is passing quickly and I am not using it to its full advantage.
