January Goals

Who doesn't love the hope for change a new year brings? As usual, I set a lot of resolutions but I'm going to try breaking them up into smaller, more attainable goals monthly. Here's what I'm working on in January.

faith...Go to church every Sunday; Participate in 21 days of Prayer and Fasting. I really want to focus on my prayer life this month.

finances...Stick to my credit card payoff plan suggested by Mint.com and save $200.

self...Be more positive. Do a random act of kindness.

to read...Read 2 books; 1 fiction and 1 nonfiction.

to cook...I really want to make some homemade potato soup and try a different chicken salad recipe.

health and fitness...No sodas for the entirety of the month. Go to the gym twice a week.

relationships...Be more encouraging.

home...Find a cleaning schedule that works for me. Decide on a color for the dining room and start purchasing painting supplies.
