That's why I feel like it's so crucial for me to be as intentional about my life as I can be. Otherwise we blink and it's October, blink again and the year is over :)
Laura once said on her blog how I'm one of the most intentional people she knows - well, Laura, that was the biggest compliment ever!
Before we get onto my October goals, how did I do for September?
Amazingly well, thanks for asking.
I got 90% done.
The things where I fall down are getting to the gym and to Weigh-less. We've started a new tradition around here - the WHOLE family is now doing Saturday morning gym.
While it's something I've dreamed of for a long time, it's actually quite a schlep getting all 4 of us up, fed (the two littles) and dressed on a Saturday morning.
Connor and I are the fastest two in the house so when it was just us, we'd be up and out quickly, get to WL, Connor would get a sticker from Maureen and then we'd go to gym.
That's why I've missed WL twice - I told myself it's more important to establish this habit but then I was getting fatter, so the past two weeks I prioritised WL again.
Oy!
We will succeed!
The other thing is I didn't even LOOK at Elevate the Ordinary BUT I did 12 Santa Shoeboxes and they weren't even on my list. If I were one of my clients, I'd add 2 points for that but since it's me, I'm hard on myself :)
So, October...I'm not putting everything, just a few interesting ones :)
- TRUST God and keep praying not only for the job I want to have, but to survive this experience with my sanity intact
- Have at least 4 exploratory conversations
- Drop off Santa Shoeboxes
- Go to work on a Saturday for jacaranda kid photos
- Play with Elevate the Ordinary – 3 lessons
- Lunch with K & B
- K’s birthday party
- Supper here for J & P
- Lunch with Laura
- Book a holiday!
I ask this every month but what's on your list for October?
Top 3 only :)
I am not sure whats on the list yet! Our trip to CT knocked me a bit but Jack is at his granny today so I am playing catch up! Biggest thing off the top of my head is to start to crochet :)

ReplyDeleteGosh. You made me think. I have to get some sort of planning going in my life. When I read this I know just how much I fall short.
