February Goals

Here's another factoid about me- I LOVE making lists. LOVE IT! I even like making grocery lists. And as you can see from my lengthy New Year's Resolution post, I love goal-oriented lists (even though I never finish them). When I recently came across two blogs that had monthly goals, my heart fluttered at the sight of yet another list for me to make. While New Year's Resolutions are very broad and large goals, monthly goals can be baby steps. Completing these will increase my confidence to follow through to my larger goals.

Here's my list of goals for February...

1. Read at least one book- I've picked up Janette Oke's When Calls the Heart at the library. I'm a sucker for sugary sweet Christian romance novels. Plus, the movie is great!
2. Exercise for five days in a row- You all may laugh at this, but I'm serious!
3. Cook something new- I love to cook, so this one will be interesting. Plus, I'm getting tired of Minute Rice...
4. Get my parents' birthday gifts to them on time- I'm horrible about this. Both of their birthdays are this month, and it always sneaks up on me. 
5. Write two short stories- Writing is a creative outlet for me. I need to do more of it!
   

I encourage you all to set monthly goals for yourself, and I hope you all complete whatever goals you have set! February is a short month, so we better get started! :)
