It was there that I saw a book that Sherilee bought for Seth called, "Every Monday Matters." It was full of lots of ways that we can make a difference in our lives and those around us. The timing could not have been better! Later I found out they had a website that was just like the book.
The very first Monday exercise for the new year is to make a list of "What Matters Most."
So after some reflection, and a few minutes catching today's spectacular sunset, I scratched out my list... not necessarily in order of importance.
- my sweetheart
- my family
- my health
- my business
- my computer (new MacBook Pro)
- my artistic pursuits
- my iPhone
- our home (and future improvements)
- my kindle (and other reading)
- my friends
- faith and hope
- travel
- golf
- my tractor
This is the first year in a long time when I haven't written out my New Year's resolutions. Instead I am making a list of some activities and projects that I hope to see accomplished this year. One of the projects is to follow the "Every Monday Matters" website and see how much of it I can work into my life. From my list of what matters most it was easy to get priorities set for the year,
Question for Thought: What are the things that matter most to you?
Oh, where do I begin?
ReplyDeleteMy list is very similar to yours (surprise, surprise!!)
- husband and children
- artwork - learning and doing
- home and garden
- building friendships
and many more but those first come to mind. Thank you for asking!
Love your "new" blog--especially the title--and thanks for the website every Monday matters--and the book sounds interesting. This year I didn't make a list of resolutions--I called my list "my aspirations". And my list contains things, like at the very top--family, learning, home and gardening, and friendships too.
