October 2018 in review

Tweet

Hi MyLot! I'm writing this a little bit early this time, however I expect tomorrow to be a really busy day, so I thought I would write now. I'm not too tired, just yet. So for those of you new to this style of writing from me - I tend to keep a journal with a few goals on it during the month. At the end of the month I write about how well I stuck to my goals and any big events that happened during the month. It really does help me to stick to my goals if I can remember that I get to tell all you fine folks about them. First off the eventful things - The biggest of which was the fantastic news about my mom. For about 6 weeks my mom's oncologist had been telling us that she was fairly sure my mom had a recurrence of cancer. There was much prayer. They ran my mom through a lot of tests and images, and finally the oncologist said - that it isn't cancer. Now there is another issue at play that will require a large surgery to fix. However - it isn't cancer. Praise God I know that it was His healing hand in this. Also in October I had 3 dance performances, 1 band audition, lots of hanging out with friends and meeting new ones, too. Now for goals - Goal: 2 New Recipes Oct.: 6 new recipes 2 of the recipes didn't turn out so great. The rest were worth making again and included enchiladas variations, dill dip, Veggie pizza, Parmesan garlic cauliflower "Steak" Goal: 12 days of exercise (10,000 or more steps, or 1/2 hour exercise in the day) Oct.: 6 days of exercise goal met Well, not great... but better than I thought I would do on account of all the stress. Goal: 8 books Oct. 8 books Before you get all impressed with me, most of these are audio books that I listen to while I work. I tried a couple of Mary Higgins-Clark - but some reason those didn't grab me. Might have been the narration in them. I did find a winner in author Judith Orloff and her book "Positive Energy", and "Sun Dog" by Stephen King was captivating and held my interest. As for other projects - I did mangage to re-string an old necklace and get out my coats and winter clothes. Here's to a great November for all of us Photo: Pixabay
