I don’t expect to ever finish this goal because there is always more to do. This is the value my life is centered around. All other goals are simply an extension of the one idea that my purpose for being on the planet is to make it better: treat people right, buy local food, pay a fair price, look out for those who cannot protect themselves, love my dogs, repair broken things instead of replacing them, conserve wildlife, grow a garden, support people who do good work, and the list goes on….
To remind myself to work toward this daily I have a magnet on my fridge a friend gave me that simply says “Make the World Better”

See Build a Garden and finish 1/2 complete house projects posts.
Also managed to host a party Saturday and volunteer several house last weekend. Need to keep motivated through the holidays when work is crazy busy and I just feel like kicking back after 5pm on Friday.

Hosting a party has proved to be great motivation to get some projects finished, but only the ones people can see, the rest had to wait. Amazingly between 6pm on Friday and 4pm on Saturday I managed to fix the door, repair a carpet dog #2 started to eat, patch the window covering the dog #1 destroyed, and clean the house—no mean feat.
I am still working on the garden (see related post) and have not touched the master bath, but feel I am finally making progress.
Recently created an excel spread sheet with house projects and costs that has helped me prioritize.
