March Forth on March 4th

Today is March 4th and every year on this day I take a look back at my New Year Goals.  March 4th is a great day to "March Forth" and re-establish your goals, rethink your goals, celebrate your accomplishments and set new goals.  Many people make goals or resolutions on New Year's Day.  I think that those that practice that tradition should also add March 4th to their calendar as a check-point date.  Here's a look at my March Forth goals:

• Family dates - I'm going to set a date for My Farmer and I today for later this month.
• Me time - I have been enjoying sending things to friends and family members but need to be more consistent on waking up early.
• Journaling - I have been doing a good job of journaling as part of a Bible Study I'm in for myself but haven't been doing a good job of journaling for the kids.  Today I'll make an entry in their journals!
• Google + - I have been doing a good job of sharing on Google + but I'd still like to learn more about the social media.
• Comments for a Cause - It has been going great.  I could probably be a little better organized for it but overall I have been happy with the program.
• Getting together with Bloggers - I have gotten together with my local North Iowa group of bloggers once this year and we're getting together again next week.  I'm also hoping and planning on getting together with some Iowa "foodie" bloggers later this month and some Iowa bloggers next month.  I still haven't found a conference to go to yet that works well with my tractor schedule and travel budget but I still have hope!

Here's some inspirational music for all of you on this March 4th!

How are you going to celebrate March Forth?

March Forth

Today is March 4th so I have decided to March Forth with some goals and regain some focus for this year.  This year I'd like to focus on my relationships.

• My relationship with God.  My faith is very important to me.  I want to make sure that my faith doesn't become routine.  I share my faith with my family and youth group, but I'd like to share it more with friends.  I'm going to think of more ways I can do more evangelicalism.
• My relationship with My Farmer.  My husband and I have a great relationship but it can always strengthen.  A fun way I'm going to do this is by doing a 30 Day Marriage Challenge.  This challenge involves doing things from hugging My Farmer three times in a day, to praying for wisdom in being a wife, to going a whole day without correcting my husband.
• My relationship with LP.  By staying at home with LP I have a lot of time with him, but I want to make sure my "quantity" doesn't lack "quality."  I am also going to focus on helping him learn and develop by doing different activities together.
• My relationship with myself.  I want to be sure not to forget myself in the hustle and bustle of life.  I need to give myself some time off.  I also need to make sure I'm getting the correct amount of sleep at night, as well as eating well.

How are you going to March Forth for the rest of the year?
