The List
As I got up this morning, it hit me. Good grief......July is almost gone. Where has it gone? I decided I needed to commit to three "written" things to get done before July 31! So here. Hold me accountable.
1. Straighten my closet
2. Make some jelly
3. Finish "sprucing up" the patio
Do you have anything you want to get done in the next few days?
Oh Diana,
ReplyDeleteI have plenty to do before the 29th!
Please pray that THIS week I will write the 2 brief "talks" I am to give in evaluation groups at a Conference the last weekend of July.
Time just escapes me!!!
Praying that cleaning that closet will be a blessing and make you proud. =)
Cheering you on, from all the way up here in the Pacific Northwest!
ReplyDeleteThis is great...this is what I did in my head as I walked this morning. I only have two of my six still living at home and one is gone this week...so I have got to get my act together before August....when I will start home schooling another high schooler.
ReplyDeleteThanks....also loved the music...love this song...through the calm and through the storm...never let go
Thanks
I posted on my closet make over with the dress challenge...it is still in shape!
my list is never ending....actually got a lot done yesterday...hubby pitched in and we got a lot done...have a great week...
ReplyDeleteIt amazes me how the summer just seems to zoom once July 4th passes!
ReplyDeleteYou can do it, girl!!
ReplyDeleteI woke up this morning thinking July is almost over, tear : (
Strangely, I've been doing something similar today. I've really been exhausted for several days. This morning I made myself finish my 'chores' first thing after devotional and breakfast. And I have been sitting here thinking of those things I should or would like to accomplish this week. I find now that I'm not feeling as fatigued! Lists at least give us some sense of focus and direction, and perhaps help us not to feel so overwhelmed. In a way, they give us permission to put our worries a about other tasks on hold. I think that might energize us. Just a thought. Anyway, I'm 'listing' today :D
ReplyDeleteIt IS helpful to jot things down to keep before you, so you're more likely to accomplish them!! I need to complete some research for my WIP, get some shopping done for my college-bound daughter, and prepare for an upcoming trip! Have a beautiful week & God bless!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I have to make raspberry jam out of the raspberries in my freezer - to make room for more green beans that are coming on fast...and then freezing green beans...and picking raspberries. The first picking, rather sparse, was today. Glad the tomatoes aren't ready yet!
ReplyDeleteI want to color my hair. I need a change. LOL I feel more like a man than a woman. So, off to the pantry to alleviate this masculinity.
ReplyDeleteI'm a list maker also. My goal is to complete one thing each day. That way I won't feel like I wasted my day. :)
ReplyDeleteTrying to catch up after being away. My husband loves cupcakes....he would rather have one that a slice of cake. Cute ideas for the chairs. Have to keep that in mind if I ever what to "jazz" ours up.
ReplyDeleteWe have been recycling soda cans and newspapers for many years. We tried cardboard, but roaches took over! I'm proud of you for giving it a try! You are smart to have a date and make a list. I always do better when I have a deadline... holds me accountable!
I just organized my bedroom about a month ago, and I'm hoping it doesn't go back to how it was before that..LOL!
ReplyDeleteWow, time flies.
ReplyDeleteReminds me I need to get on my lists too. Only a few more things to do before the end of July & then the big list starts in August.
ReplyDeleteThat is one list I would rather not do...will just hope for the best!
ReplyDeleteI definitely need to get my list started. Life has been so busy this summer, and it is flying by. I am right there with you. Jackie
ReplyDeleteI made this LONG LIST last night and the woke up down in my back today and have not marked off one thing....There is tomorrow..
ReplyDeleteI have a new giveaway on my holiday blog, A Baby Changes Everything, with more copies of IN A HEARTBEAT to give away on TUESDAY. Stop by and enter....Have a great week..

Great list! I want a peek at your jelly when you've made it! I'm sure it's delicous. The last jelly I made was years back (from fresh peaches).
ReplyDeleteI know, it's hard to believe that July is almost over! I do have a list of things, though some of them I can't complete until next month. Hope you are able to do everything on your list!
