Sharing Our Spoons Week #2

Sharing Our Spoons is a weekly link-up for those of us with chronic illnesses where we support and encourage each other in a holistic way by focusing on five goals each week. The five goal areas are: Physical, Mental/Emotional, Spiritual, Something fun, and BONUS: One thing to get you out of your comfort zone each week. We'll be linking up on Tuesdays. We'd love to have you join us.



My Goals From Week 1:
1. Physical: Work on reincreasing my water intake. I was doing quite well and then in the last couple of months, I have really slacked off.
5 out of 7 days I increased my water intake by 20 ounces. 1 day I was at my previous norm. 1 day I was below normal.

2. Mental/Emotional: Knit at least one NICU hat, one chemo cap, and one little hat to donate this week. Knitting is calming and relaxing for me.
Done!

3. Spiritual: Read/journal the remainder of One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are and start on You're Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be.
Finished One Thousand Gifts: A Dare to Live Fully Right Where You Are. Did not start on You're Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be though.

4. Something fun: Paint my fingernails and toenails.
Done! Painted them yesterday and yes, they are pink, one of my favorite pinks called Tough Chick.

5. BONUS: One thing to get you out of your comfort zone a week: Write an article for possible publication as a guest post.
I've done lots of brainstorming for this article, but haven't started writing it yet.



My Week 2 Goals:
1. Physical: Continue to work on reincreasing my water intake. At least 20 ounces more than my norm every day is my goal.
2. Mental/Emotional: Knit at least one NICU hat, one chemo cap, and one little hat to donate this week plus complete the square I'm working on plus another square for the afghan I'm knitting as a sample for the yarn shop. Knitting is calming and relaxing for me and I'm feeling very empowered and proud of my work after being asked to knit a sample for the shop.
3. Spiritual: Start reading/journaling You're Already Amazing: Embracing Who You Are, Becoming All God Created You to Be - at least 2 chapters this week.
4. Something fun: Go on a date with Russ - even if it's just to get coffee.
5. BONUS: One thing to get you out of your comfort zone a week: Actually write an article for possible publication as a guest post.
