Dreams and Goals for November 2020

Ack!!! November already?!?!? What in the world!? Time to make some dreams and goals for the month to come. I feel like this is kind of a short list, but we're heading into the holidays, so I should probably not overachieve, right?

1. Make significant headway on painting cabinets in Abby the RV.

We have already started painting the cabinet doors - and when we're done with that project, we'll paint the cabinet frames. Abby has (I think) 24 cabinets, plus a door and 3 drawers that all need primed and painted, so we have a bit of a task ahead of us! Fortunately most of them are also fairly small, so that helps! We don't know what is realistic in terms of a time frame for completing this project, but we hope to make a lot of progress, even if we can't get the cabinet painting finished in November. 

2. Write Christmas letter and design Christmas cards.

We got our annual pictures taken and returned to us, so I am now free to design our card and order it. I always order from Picaboo, but I haven't been able to find a good sale voucher this year, so I'm exploring other company options. And though I've normally completed our accompanying Christmas letter by this time every year, I haven't even started on it this year. So I need to knock out all of that in November. 

3. Plan anniversary getaway.

We did land on a location, and we're excited about it! Now I just need to plan the possible activities for our trip. This year, more than any other, I'll have to hold those plans loosely, because not only will we have to be flexible based on possible weather issues, but we're throwing in a pandemic for good measure, too. We are so looking forward to this trip, though!

4. Decorate for Christmas.

I see that some of my friends have already put up trees, and I'm a little jealous! :) I'm not sure exactly when I'll put ours up, but sometime in November, for sure! I've been trying to figure out which trees to put in which rooms here, and I'm excited to see what it actually looks like when it's all finished!

5. Complete 21 Day Prayer Challenge.

A couple of days ago, I ran across an invitation for a prayer challenge. I did a sugar detox, so why not a prayer challenge, right? I signed up, and the first day was a doozy! I don't mind saying I'm a little terrified about what the rest of the days entail, but I do not want to give up on it. It's probably no small coincidence that I'm also doing the Daily Grace study on the Lord's Prayer right now???

So that's my somewhat small list. Any November goals for any of you?
