Optimistic Mondays

July 16, 2012

I thought talking about my goals for the week would be a good topic to talk about or at least think about on Monday mornings. After all, when you write something down, you just might be more likely to stay committed to a task and might even accomplish your goals. I am always optimistic, therefore I thought this would be a good title for my new series.  If you can think of a better title please let me know.  I am always open to suggestions!

My goals for this week:

1. Walk and/or run at least 4 times with a minimum of 3 miles each time.
2. Buy new running shoes. I like to wear the Nike+ shoes so that I can put in my sensor and keep track of each run. However, I have had a hard time finding the shoes with the + lately.

3. I am taking a photography class on Wednesday, so my goal is to post some pictures later in the week to show off my new found (I hope) skills. I have been wanting to take a class for years.

4. Add at least 2 meaningful posts to my blog, visit other blogs to make new friends (and add lots of comments to them) and learn more about the social media world.

5. Get my packing done early for my vacation. Maybe even a whole 24 hours in advance so I will be calm and cool on the actual travel day.

6. Sit down and finally get all of my thank you cards written and mailed that I owe people.

7. Cook at least 2 dinner meals at home even though half the family is gone this week.

8. And, as always, remember all that I am blessed with and am so thankful for.

    Love your list! I find I do better with a running list each week. I just got a new camera and have been getting over my fear of manual mode. Here is a great site for photography buffs. I also love the blog Kevin has with his wife ~ they are doing an amazing job remodeling their home. http://Www.shootflyshoot.com
    The class he offers is AMAZING!

    Stopping by from SITS! I have a few of your goals on my list as well. One of those goals is your #4. So here I am finding a new blog and adding comments. I am also working on my photography and I can’t wait to see your photos! Now if only I could get the motivation to sit and write my thank you notes. Have a great weekend!

Meet Rose Couture, Southlake’s newest (and bigge Meet Rose Couture, Southlake’s newest (and biggest) nail bar and head spa. 

This place provides top notch service in the most beautiful atmosphere. Trust me when I say that you NEED to try them asap. Great for all ages and groups of all sizes.

I had their basic pedicure because I was short on time. But trust me, there was nothing basic about it! I’m headed back for a manicure today.

This is their newest location in the DFW metroplex. 

Have you ever seen anything like it?😍😍
