20 for 2020 Update

9/19/2020

0 Comments

 
With the last quarter of 2020 approaching, I thought it was a good time to review my 20 for 2020 list and see how I am doing. Of course, COVID-19 and Tom’s health affected my ability to complete some of these. So, I am also going to evaluate whether I want to keep an item or replace it with something new. I figure that it’s my list, I can do what I want lol. Below is the list with the updated information. I will be deciding what I am going to change/replace and posting it on Sunday. 
 
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-between the pandemic and Tom’s health, this one hasn’t happened yet. There is still time, but it’s hard to say whether I’ll get to do it or not.
  3. Go to Chicago concert with Tom on November 9th-well, obviously this one is not happening. The concert was originally scheduled for April 1st, then rescheduled to November 9th and now has been rescheduled for May 2021. I requested a refund after Tom passed away because I knew I could not bear going without him.
  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-have not done this yet, but do hope to do it before the end of the year.
  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.
  8. Have lunch with a friend at least once a month-Well, again, the pandemic had derailed this, but in the last few weeks, 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.

    My passion is to share the importance of playing, and not just as a child, but as an adult also. It is so important to take the time to play and be active. Our children are losing that.
