Goals-within-goals

I like goals.  I like them a lot.  And, so, I am going to establish a few goals that are strictly for April (though, they complement the goals that I've established for the entire year), and list them here...and then, maybe, update accordingly.

1. Tape off and paint the bathroom.
2. Have the bathroom tile reglazed.
3. Tape off the living room and hallway in anticipation of their May makeover.
4. Clear all brush from the yard.
5. Figure out a new landscaping plan, and implement it.
6. Run 120 miles.
7. Fast one day/week.
8. Try one new recipe/week.
9. Finish all spring cleaning/donating/etc.
10. Plan weekend getaway for Joe and me (which hardly needs to be established as a goal, since it will be SO fun to do!).

I'm certain there are other things that I'd like to accomplish this month, but let that be my official list.

I really prefer the goals that can be met in the spring and summer months much more than those that need to be done in fall and winter (though fall is still my favorite season).  I like the mix of indoor and outdoor opportunities, and the thought of doing things (like painting) that require lots of glorious sunlight to be done well.  But, I do wonder--how is it possible that we're already in April???  Didn't Christmas JUST happen? My little boy is 18 months old...um...where was I?  (Cue "Sunrise, Sunset" music from "Fiddler").  So many reasons, both large and small, to be so incredibly grateful...but with time going so quickly, I have to make sure I take a few moments to really pay attention and notice all of the blessings in my life.  They are countless!!
