Words of Inspiration

My friend Jenny wrote on her blog that she was up late and couldn't sleep and decided to write a list of things to improve on. She decided that instead of improving everything all at once, she would take one item at a time each week to work on. She would chose an easy goal one week and then a harder one for the next week. After reading this I realized that there are so many things I could work on as well. I am going to take the same method and chose one thing each week. So here it is:

• Write in my journal everyday
  
• Work out one hour a day
• No desserts
• Sleep eight hours every night
• Wake up at 8:00 a.m. each morning (I know, not that early, but it is for me... :) )
  
• Only one hour of recreational internet a day
  
• Scripture study one half hour a day
• Talk to at least one member of my family a day (inlaws, grandparents, etc)
  
• Be a sweeter wife, take time to be kinder to my husband
  
• Look up something I did not know of Wikipedia everyday
  
• Spend one hour everyday on a newfound hobby. (I have yet to find a hobby, so if anyone has suggestions... let me know!)
  
• Call or email one friend I haven't talked to in the last three months each day
• Ten minute prayers night and day
• Work on Genealogy for a half hour every day
  
• Read an old conference talk everyday
  
• One sincere, thoughtful act of service each day
• Don't go to bed until the house is completely clean
• Take a picture everyday
  
• Don't leave a dish in the sink
• Invite one person that I don't normally hang out with to an activity I go to that week

Let me know if anyone has any other ideas!

For the rest of this week I am going to work on the prayer goal... and I am sure I will be praying that I will be able to keep up with the rest of my goals in the following weeks!
