Optimistic Monday

September 2, 2013

Hi Everyone!

I hope you’re having a fabulous Labor Day holiday!  It’s a dreary rainy day here in Texas.  We needed the rain so I won’t complain, even though I’d like to.  I’ve been pretty good at achieving my goals these past few weeks.  I think it helps me to have everyone on their regular school schedules so that I can keep myself on a schedule.

My goals for last week:

1.  Keep up with my exercise routine.
Yes, I got in lots of walking.

2.  Date night with my hubby.
Sort of…  We watched 2 movies at home and were able to go out to eat with the kids.

3.  Look into a volunteer opportunity with an organization started by my husband’s friend who passed away last month.  I’m still in shock!
I didn’t get to this.  However, I still intend to.

4.  Purge my closet once again.
I’m working on the closet.  As I’ve said before, I don’t think this process is ever complete.

5.  Continue to post videos and blog posts on a regular basis.
I’ve been pretty good at posting videos about every 3 days or so on my YouTube channel.  I did put my 3 Year YouTube Anniversary video up.  I’m doing a fun little giveaway on there so be sure to go and enter to win.  I’ve also been posting 3x a week on the blog.

My goals for this week:

This will be a slightly crazy week for me.  Today is Labor Day, so I’ll be a little off schedule.  Then I’m off to Florida for the remainder of the week.  My dad’s having another heart surgery on Wednesday.  All prayers are appreciated.

I’m excusing myself from goals this week since I won’t be at home.  I will however try to keep up with my blog and try to eat healthy.  I guess those are 2 pretty good goals for the week.


Have a Fabulous week!
