It felt like 6 weeks instead of 4, but January is over at last. It was a momentous month, being the busiest time of year in the Gehman Accounting bookkeeping department. January also brought ten days of revivals, house renovations, and 2 new nephews! I observed "gentle January" where I could, by cutting out exercise time to get a little more rest. I also made progress with setting goals for the year, using some great ideas from friends.
A new thing I did this year was create a vision board instead of a 23 for 23 list. I loved the creative process of putting my goals into something visual. I used my word of the year "choose" to go along with some of the images on my vision board.
In brief, this is what it represents.
Hygge minimalism: work towards creating a cozy minimalistic home and lifestyle.
Office: weekly goal of hours with Gehman Accounting, create a minimalist home work space.
Planner: spend time each week, scheduling wisely to fit everything in.
Jordan Page: reminder to follow Budget Boot Camp.
Running shoes: reminder of my walking goal.
Be Still: make devotions a priority, have quiet time.
Schoolroom: fill my little corner in helping students and teachers.
Book: read more physical books
Aunts & nieces/nephews: be cognizant of this golden opportunity to spend time with them before they're grown up.
Table: have company when remodel is complete.
One of my specific goals for this year is to donate blood on a regular schedule. I did my first donation this week, and have the rest of my donations scheduled for this year, which is an easy way to feel like I've accomplished something!
January made me thankful for:
My morning cup of tea. Hot cinnamon spice = mmmm!
Beautiful babies and their heavenly smell.
My stage of life. Busy, but not as stressful as it could be.
Mild weather. A warm day in January is a privilege.
The benefits of 2 part-time jobs. I can switch gears and go to my other job if one gets to be too much.
I adore this post and the way you organize your thoughts and life!! ♥️✨
