The Start of A New Day

I am working on improving myself. I am going to start by printing out those 30-day calendars to help keep track of it all. The first thing I've decided to do is to journal once a day for 30 days. It isn't hard for me to journal. I've done it before, for months on end. But I need to flush some things out of my system and this is the way for me to do it. The second thing is to make myself do one thing a day I don't want to do. If I catch myself avoiding something, such as finishing up my laundry or washing a cup at work, I'm going to do it.

This weekend (yes, Wednesday and Thursday), I want to work on finishing up the room for Dad. I need to take down two tapestries and spackle the last of the holes (there aren't too many left). Dad said I don't need to, but I want to at least get the room painted. Then all he has to worry about is the carpeting and/or getting moved in. He dismantled his computer, so he's been without it for a while. I'm sure he's having WOW withdrawals.

I also need to work on my finances again. Really, I don't understand why I'm not getting a grasp on them like I did before. I've got everything worked out. How hard is it to stick with it? I need to go through some spiritual financial overhaul methinks. I heard on the radio yesterday that a study of over 1,000 households showed that those who read the bible every day had less debt and gave more. I need to work on that. But that would entail unpacking my books. Everything seems to be intertwined. Nothing is easy.

So I guess that would be three 30-day calendars I am in need of...1) Journal. 2) Do Avoiding Chore and 3)Work on Finances. That's a good start. I just need to make them habits. I am saving all my receipts still. I just need to quit buying stuff I don't need. I know things and money aren't important and I should use what I have. Good things to focus on for now.

Well, shoot. I just realized I should do something about those book reviews I need to catch up on as well. So 4 calendars?
