One month down - 11 goals for 11 months

GOALS – YOGA, FAMILY, HEALTHY EATS

I have some things to accomplish before I turn 70 on September 1, 2019 - 11 goals for 11 months


October saw some progress.

HEALTH: Get off my butt - or at least off the computer!
4 yoga & 2 stretch sessions
·       Stretch DVD - 10/2, 6
·       Yoga class – 10/12, 16, 22, 29

GROW ME: More experiences!
·       Volunteering more is not turning out as planned. No one else would take on being the President of the Pet Club so I said I would do it for the rest of the year. Now need to find someone to take over 3 officer roles and go back to being Treasurer only.
·       Brainstorming vacation options: We decided to plan a trip to Santa Fe/Taos.
·       Live theater - “Into the Woods”.
·       Movie – “A Star is Born”
·       Agreed to research selling women’s club piano to help fund AC for building.

LOVE: Love and be loved!
·       Had dinner w. FIL & great aunt 2x; lunch w. FIL, BIL, nieces, nephew; lunch/wedding photo viewing with son & DIL, agreed to host Thanksgiving dinner
·       Spent time with friends at book discussion group, Women’s Club meeting, lunch with friends,

JUST DO IT: Get more done!
·       Made a monthly chart of irregular medical & vet appointments, car servicing, bills, etc.
·       Bought a down comforter to replace one that no longer is in good shape. Still trying to figure out what to do with the old unusable one.
·       Bought a cushion for the car passenger seat to help avoid pain on long trips.

  1. Great goals and great progress! I have had a similar experience with volunteering. I took on one executive role that ended up lasting 4 years and another 2 years, with no one willing to step up and take a turn after me. This has, unfortunately, led me to avoid any significant roles in the organization. On the plus side, I have found more casual opportunities elsewhere.

    Animal shelters and kennels will usually take bedding and towels!

    1. Yes, volunteering can quickly lead to long term major commitments! Unfortunately animal shelters don't want down filled items. I just don't want to put it in the landfill but also don't want to try to take it apart and remake it lol.

  3. Hate to tell you, but pianos are a thing of the past. My friend actually had to pay to give it away!
    Love the goals. Maybe I should do the same!
    Cheers for the accomplishments!

    1. I know about most pianos. Apparently since this is a parlor grand player piano there is a market within the people who restore them. We'll see.
