Progress….so far I think this goal is going pretty well. There is some fine tuning I still need in a few areas….

Faith: Going fairly well, I am 1/2 way through the Salvation History Bible Study, and pleased with how much I have learned about world history in general and how the Bible and which books fit into that timeline. Getting better at making it to Mass regularly now that everyone is healthy.

Family: This has been ok….we had 2 deaths in the family with the last 3 months, so it has been a stressful time. I think for the most part, however, we have been doing well, and even playing a family game once in a while. We have our family altar for Lent set up, made at least one date night this month, and my son is keeping busy with Boy Scouts, and Baseball. Dog has had a few trips out lately to another house where she got the chance to hang out with another dog buddy, so even the dog’s social life is going well.

Finances: We got our first stab at a budget accomplished. Now to see how our spending habits fit in.

Health: Need to get on vitamins again, but we have been doing well getting our dental work taken care of. I have been focusing on son’s health and scheduling multiple appointments.

Social Contributions: probably the most neglected area right now given the stress of family deaths, but we did get a few new cars, so maybe stimulating the economy and supporting local businesses counts? We also bought a membership to the local co-op and will be shopping there more frequently.

Vocation/Education/Personal Goals: Need to sit down and do some song writing at the piano, and get my raised beds going. As well as work is going, I am taking more trainings, and just completed another advanced statistics course, so I am making progress in this area.
