Looking for the Light: November 2018 Monthly Goals
November has always been a month about being thankful for who we are and what we have. The month of October we spent our free time sending pictures to a friend suffering from cancer. We made it our goal to let him know he was thought about. It was amazing how much it made him and us happy to do that.
November has always been about giving thanks for everything and we are doing to spend time as a family this month. That is going to be the biggest goal this month. We also want to look at the good things and not the bad. So we are spending the month looking for the light and not the dark.
As always my goals are divided up into three areas: blog, family and personal. I need all three because each is important to who I am.
