October already... and what a year it has been so far. I am feeling so much like my old self its quite incredible. I procrastinated so much during my cancer journey and I let so much go. But now my home is back to its organized state.. Im cooking homemade meals again... and even doing a bit of baking.
During my illness I only had one goal.. To kick cancers butt. Well I did that alright. So now its time to make a few new ones. Not too many.. as I really want to achieve all of them.. so I think we will start slow. I think it will help to get my life back on track. Here goes....
Health..
- Take a brisk walk outside for at least one hour... 4 days a week ~ stopping to take photos is allowed. God's World is beautiful
- Drink eight 8oz glasses of water a day ~ you may hear me sloshing as I walk...but I need the hydration
- Eat more raw veg .. in salads or snacks ~ I do like them but prefer cooked. But I do love Souplantation
Spiritual..
- Put down my reading book and pick up my bible more often ~ an extra 10 minutes a day is no hardship
- Learn 4 new bible verses or review old ones ~ one a week should be easy
Home..
- Continue with meal planning and look for healthier alternative recipes
- Stick to the Housekeeping/food budget ~ recently this has been difficult because we ate out or had takeaways because I stopped cooking...not good
- Build my food storage ~ it pays to be prepared
- Research how to can and preserve food ~ I would love to start canning etc.. but not sure where to start and I haven't a jar or any other equipment to my name. But..Christmas is coming.. hint hint Santa :)
- Remember my old motto.. A place for everything and everything in its place
Blogging..
- To write blog posts at least 6 days a week
- Go back and check my old posts as sometimes they disappear.. lose their photos or revert to draft...Not quite sure why..and these are memories I would like to keep
- Visit my Fabulous Friends regularly and read their posts... and find some wonderful new blogs too
So thats enough for now....dont you think? I will go over it in a month and see how I've done. It should be an interesting read...to me anyway!!
Love and Hugs

First of all...WooHoo! So good to have you back and what a blessing to know you DID kick cancer's backside. Your list of goals is awesome, hope you get them all done. Maybe I need to copy that list for myself!
ReplyDeleteHi Phoebe~
ReplyDeleteSounds like you have been through a lot the past year or so...I'm so happy that you are feeling better!
Great list of things to work on - I may just use a few of them myself. I can see that you a great photographer - so I can't wait to see some of the photos from your walks!
Hugs,
Barb
Those are great goals! It's so good to hear how enthusiastic you are! Blessings, GM
ReplyDeleteI think those are great goals!
ReplyDeletePhoebe...those are worthy goals!! Cheering you on!! And so glad you are feeling much better. I have a dear friend who just received a stem cell transplant for multiple myeloma and she is starting to feel better as well. So happy for healing for my friends.
ReplyDeleteIt took me a long time to come back from my cancer. You are doing great! Those goals are not only worthy, but achievable. I often frustrate myself with setting goals there is no way I can reach. I think I am going to borrow some of yours.
ReplyDeleteSo thankful you are feeling more like yourself. I have many of the same goals, so I will join in with you in achieving them. One good way to meet new bloggers, is to look thru the comments of blogs you follow and click on a few each time you visit - so many of us have common interests.
