20 for 2020 November update

Well, we are already in November, so it’s time to take a hard look at my list and decide what I am going to finish and what I need to change/remove.
 
20 for 2020:

1. Find a 365 devotional app for my phone-I completed this one at the first of the year. I have been using the You version bible app on my phone.
2. Take Blaze and Zoey  to Science Museum-it does not seem likely that this one will happen. My plan is to go down and give Serenity and Anthony a date night and take some stuff for the kids to play with from my sensory class. I think they would enjoy that.
3. This was originally the Chicago concert. I replaced it with getting with the attorney to re-do the advance directive/power of attorney paperwork and to set up a simple will. I met with him this past Monday, so that is in progress.
4. Have a “Summer of Gretchen Rubin” where I read all of her books. Take Gretchen Rubin’s 4 Tendencies Course -I completed this one. I read several of Gretchen’s books and did the 4 Tendencies course.
5. Message, call, text, e-mail at least one friend or family member each day and see how they’re doing-not sure I have done it every day but I have done it much more frequently than I did before this year.
6. Go to Texas to see Natasha-planning to do this next weekend! Can’t wait!!!
7. Have Blaze and Zoey for a weekend-this hasn’t happened yet and I am not sure I’ll get to do it before the end of the year. However, I have made several trips down to see them and even spent an afternoon/evening with them so their parents could go on a date.
8. Have lunch with a friend at least once a month-Well, again, the pandemic had derailed this, but in the last few months, I’ve tried to have lunch with a friend or Josh every week.
9. Clean out first bedroom upstairs -I did this back in the spring. I started before the pandemic and then when we got locked down, I got a lot done on it. After Tom’s death, while the kids were here, they went through a bunch of their stuff upstairs too. It’s looking pretty good and I was able to give away almost all of my child care stuff that was still here.
10. Be loving, happy and thankful-this one is rather abstract, but I have tried to remember to do it each and every day.
11. Live each day as if there were no tomorrow-because tomorrow is not guaranteed. This one is also abstract, but I have tried to do it each day. While Tom was still alive, I would go in several times a day just to lay down beside him and snuggle and tell him I loved him. I knew our time was running out and I wanted to make sure he knew how much I loved him.
12. Submit a keynote proposal-I did create a keynote proposal and sent it to some different groups. I also got it approved as just a regular course so I can teach it just as a class.
13. Walk/move 20 minutes a day I have done this every single day this year.
14. Do my “Five things I’ll do today” list each day-My “Five things I’ll do today” list is things like “walk, do my devotional, work on something in the house, de-clutter something, work on paperwork”. I think I have done this for the most part all year. I can tell you this is the most organized I have ever been on my paperwork, EVER lol
15. Schedule posts in two Facebook groups for the week on Monday-I have done this most weeks. I did stop posting in Team Tom after his death.
16. Start posting in blog-I have posted in my blog most days this year.
17. Read bible daily-I have done this every day for the last few months. I know I missed some days earlier in the year.
18. Create one new class each month-I haven’t counted up how many classes I have created this year, but I know I have averaged more than one per month. There were months that I created more than one.
19. Find a new purse-I found a new purse, didn’t like it so found another one that I do like lol
20. Write in my book everyday-I have not done this every day, but I have written quite a bit about our journey with Tom’s cancer.
