- Goal 21 -

   I missed a couple days for various reasons. I've got lots going on and had my attentions elsewhere. 
But today I'm back and have a challenging (to me) goal. Lets go.
On This Day I Shall...
GO THROUGH MY STUFF & START PACKING.
Yep. I'm moving in 6 weeks. And while I don't actually have a lot of stuff, I'm going to start reorganizing and packing it up. Well, to be honest, I packed a few boxes months ago when I thought I was moving sooner. Anyway, sorting & packing. That's my goal for the day. 
And even if you're not moving you could still make it your goal to organize some of you things and get rid of what you don't use/need. Donate it or toss it, but just simplify! :)
Let me know how you do!

- Day 20 -

Yesterday was good. How was your day? Were you able to pray?
Today is a strange day. Dark&rainy out but still quite warm. I'd call it gloomy but it's not cold enough. And I'm feeling a bit... stressed? Confused? I don't know the right adjective, but it's something that's not what I typically am. So that's a bummer. Good thing I am not my feelings! (Still learning that.)
So today's goal will be a very broad one. One that leaves me with lots of choices in how to enact it since I can't decide at this moment what would be best for me today. 
On this day I shall...
DE-STRESS (aka: chill the heck out!)
Yep. I said it would be a broad one. :) 
Q: DO you need to de-stress today? How do you like to do that?

- day 19 -

I had a great walk and a couple hill sprints for yesterday's goal. Were you able to get outside and take a walk?
Today's goal is one that I do daily but wanted to make it a goal today so that I would put more focus and intentionality to it. 
On This Day I Shall...
PRAY. 
Prayer is not an option for me- it's a way of life. It's the connection to God that is vital and life-giving. It's such a wonderful thing! 
Q: Do you pray? If so, do you feel connected to God?

- day 18 -

Good morning! How are you? Were you able to do yesterday's goal? I did. I wrote some things and doodled my view of the backyard as I was laying in the sunshine. 'Twas nice. :)
For today I thought this would be a nice, achievable goal. 
On this day I shall...
TAKE A WALK (and maybe do some short hill sprints)
I think yesterday it officially became summer here in Kansas City. It was suddenly very humid and sticky and sweaty outside. For me, that makes taking a walk slightly less enjoyable. BUT it's so green everywhere and the birds are chirping and the sun is shining. And those things make it lovely! Also, since I don't have a car I walk to work most days. Today is my day off so it'll be nice to take a walk as a walk and not as a means to get to work. 
I'm looking forward to this walk. Off I go!
Q: Do you walk or run regularly? What's the best part about them to you?

- day 17-

 Yesterday's goal was a great experiment in learning that I can be peaceful throughout the day, all day. Did you do it too? What did you learn? I learned that it's much more simple to intentionally stay peaceful than I expected... and it's so worth that small effort. 
Alrighty, I've got the next two days off work. I really love my job and I am thankful to have these two days off from being there. Yay! 
I've been lying awake in bed for a bit trying to decide what I want today's goal to be. Lots of things floating around, but nothing really landed. Until this one:
On this day I shall...
BE ARTISTIC (like paint, doodle, write, etc)
It's one of my very favorite things to do and I miss it. I've had other things to tend to in my life this past year so my creativity time has certainly dwindled. This goal will give me a reason to focus on it for some time today. 
Q: are you artistic? What your most enjoyed artistic medium?

- day 16 -

I'm still dreaming about my life/future/who I want to be. But I'll make a different goal for today instead of continuing that on my blog. :) 
I know this is getting posted a bit late today- I didn't have time before I left for work this morning. But I knew what my goal was going to be and focused on it throughout my time at work.  
On this day I shall...
BE PEACEFUL
What a great to be/ be focused on! I have the peace of God and I don't have to feel chaotic or confused ever. It's great. Definitely something I am going to dwell upon more. 
Q: Do you know real peace? What makes you peaceful?

- day 15 -

I got some dreaming done yesterday... but not enough! How about you?
So today's goal might be the same as yesterday. I don't know about you, but I need some direction/clarity/hope put back into my life and there's only one way to get it back- spending time with God. 
On this day I shall...
Keep dreaming about my life and remembering what I want to do; also to spend QT with God.
Q: Do you know what you really want to do/how you want to live your life?
