July Challenge(s)

I am having such a nice morning, so far.  Thomas and Eler Beth went fishing early this morning.  They left at 5, so I got up to see them off and just stayed up.  Andrew is still asleep, so I have made and had my coffee, organized a few files and commented in some journals.  We have no plans for the day; we'll just roll with the flow.

It has been so hot here lately, that I cannot go outside for very long.  Either the heat will give me a headache or my allergies will make me miserable.  Today is still very warm, so far, but until now the skies have been a little overcast.  There may be rain in the forcast.  I expect Thomas and Eler Beth to only fish until it starts getting hot.

Okay, challenges: 

#1 --  I am going to continue doing crunches every day.  I have not set myself a limit; I do however many I feel like doing.  But I can tell a difference, so I'm keeping that up in July. 

#2 --  I have set myself a goal of working on my picture/scrapbook albums this month.  I want to take a little time every day to do something on them.  For the past year or more I have done them hit or miss, and have a bunch of half-finished or barely-started albums.  So this month I want to complete those that are so close to completion and try to get a bit further on the other ones.  Not too specific, huh?

#3 --  Each week I am setting myself two little goals to reach.  For example, this week I want to give my car a good detailed cleaning, especially my trunk.  I like doing it myself; I do not ever let some car wash place detail my car.  Also, this week I will sort or re-sort all my pictures/keepsake items that are not in albums or scrapbooks to help facilitate #2.

#4 --  Martha has challenged everyone to find something each day to be grateful for, and I really want to do this one.  I'm starting late, but I'll make up for it.

More later...........
