A View Into Me

I love

Spending time with The Lord
The Lord speaking to me through His Word
Early mornings
Warm summer evenings
Birds singing in the mornings
The sound of the sea
Drinking a cup of cocoa by an open fire
Sitting by candlelight
Making cards
The smell of bread baking
Receiving cards/notes from friends
Taking walks in the park
Going on picnics
Snuggling up in bed with a good book
Having family/friends photos around me

The smell of freshly mown grass
The first fall of snow
Going to local farmers markets
The sound of brothers and sisters worshipping together
The first sign of ripened blackberries
Earl Grey tea
Green & Blacks Vanilla white chocolate especially frozen
Lemon Meringue Pie
Feeding new born lambs
Sitting on the beach watching the sunrise
American Christian Bookstores
The happy sounds of children playing
Listening to Christian music
Chatting with online friends
Wild flowers

Making dried flower arrangements

Ironing, which I find relaxing
A tidy and organised home

Spending time with friends
Spending time writing
Driving through the countryside
Curling up on the sofa with a cat and listening to the soft purr

My 101 Items to be Completed in 1001 Days

My Start Date: 1st July 2018

Ending date: 31st June 2019

(last date to complete all tasks)

The Mission: Complete 101 preset tasks in a period of 1001 days.

The Criteria: Tasks must be specific (no ambiguity in the wording) with a result that is either measurable or clearly defined. Tasks must also be realistic and stretching (represent some amount of work on my part).

Why 1001 Days? Many people have created lists in the past - frequently simple goals such as new year's resolutions. The key to beating procrastination is to set a deadline that is realistic. 1001 Days (about 2.75 years) is a better period of time than a year, because it allows you several seasons to complete the tasks, which is better for organizing and timing some tasks such as overseas trips or outdoor activities. Need help figuring out your ending date?

Get your 1001 date

The Reward: Personal satisfaction of a job well done...and lots of things accomplished you really needed or wanted to do!
