MY PRIORITIES FOR 2008
God, Husband, Children, Home
I will continue to have the same priorities, but I need to add myself to the list. I really feel and see the results of not ever making myself a priority.
GOD – SPIRITUAL LIFE
But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. – Isaiah 40:31
Goals for 2008:
· Time Daily with God’s Word
· Continue my attendance of my Wed Night Disciple Group
PHYSICAL LIFE (TAKE CARE OF SELF)
Medically I have had a fantastic year. My asthma and weight are under great control. I am very happy of my progress on those goals from last year. I read 35 books last year, which was really good considering I didn’t finish a book in October or December.
Goals for 2008:
· Make at least 30 minutes a day of me time – (reading)
· Reading Goal – read 36 books next year and 12 off of my own shelves.
· Maintain my weight below my LIFETIME weight of 133.
· Establish a better sleep pattern – up by 6:00 am each morning.

That is a run down of my priorities for 2008. Of course I would not be sucessful if I was to think I could accomplish each of these at the same time. Later I will come up with my priorities that I want to focus on first this year.
Those are good goals! And many too!! I am glad that you have put yourself on the list (=
