Goal Setting Weekly Update 40

One more day and we will have completed our drive to the west coast. Spending a night with friends in Eugene, OR. and then several days with our daughter in Portland before heading up to the Seattle area and our small rental. The furniture should arrive in a week!

1. Find a new hosting site for my blog and make it secure.  Done! This was the first goal accomplished this year and I am so happy to have a secure website.

2. Monetize my blog. I have set up two affiliate accounts. You may be noticing links to my favorite items on Amazon. I’ve also teamed up with an amazing heirloom seed company, Mary’s Heirloom Seeds. Really don’t want to clutter my blog up with too many ads, however I sure appreciate any support in running this blog!

3. Create a cookbook. This is definitely getting put on hold. Hopefully I’ll have more time once we are relocated, this may be postponed until the new year!

4. Be diligent about getting 10K steps in 5 out of 7 days a week. I’ve decided to change this goal to 3 out of 7 days a week! This has not happened at all this week, too many hours driving in the car!

5. As we continue to prepare for our house sale, continue to de-clutter. DONE!!

6. Read 25 books this year! Done! So far we’ve listened to two books on Audible. Great way to pass the time while you are driving. First book we listened to was The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry by Rachel Joyce. Great story about a man who walks over 500 miles in England to try and save a dear friend who is dying of cancer. The second book was my favorite, Send Down The Rain by Charles Martin. Charles Martin is one of my favorite authors and this was a wonderful story about making the choice to love not hate.


7. Have a consistent meal plan each week and prepare ahead. This did not happen either this week. As we were traveling I made sandwiches to eat in the car for lunch and we had appetizers for dinner. We did enjoy several nights staying with friends where we enjoyed delicious dinners.

8. Finish 4 knitting projects. Completed! Made two hats and two scarves. I was hoping to do some knitting in the car but I really enjoy looking at the landscape if I’m not driving so I haven’t done any knitting!

9. Clean out our freezer. We left the new owners with a perfectly cleaned out refrigerator and freer.

10. Take a few road trips and visit family and friends on the east coast that we will not see as often once we move to the west coast. We are now making the drive across the country! Stopped and visited two friends along the way one in Indiana and the other in Colorado. Such fun and so nice to take a break from the driving!

This was another goal we had while eating Dove chocolates in the car. So appropriate!
