FOCUS 2016: Week 1 Review

Well it is the 2nd week of 2016. Last week I wrote about how in 2016 I was going to take a more F.O.C.U.S. approach to several aspects of my life. I think I did pretty well for the 1st week.

Week of January 3rd - 9th: 
F - Family = Set Up a trust building time with Erik.
               *  We took about an hour on Tuesday night to just talk. It was very good. Sometimes I think                    we get so caught up in doing our own thing that we forget what we are missing out on if                      we have a partner. However, I think it is important that Erik and I improve our                                      communication in 2016. 
O - Others = Help a friend organize her building. (At least setup a time.)
               * Well this one didn't happen this week. However, we did spend about an hour together this                   week shopping for artificial flowers. She would love to make flower arrangements as a                         small business and the flower stems were half off this week at Hobby Lobby. 
C - Christ  = Create a Plan for the after school program with games/crafts around the Trial & Death of Stephen
                * Check: We had a great after school program with the kiddos painting their own forgive                       rock and throwing "rock" beanbags at a forgiveness heart.   
U - You = Work on earning Swagbucks to make a purchase and drink more water.
                * Check: I think I did pretty well with drinking more water. I only had a head ache on                              Tuesday. I am still working on earning Swagbucks. 
S - Service = Email Encouragement Responses
                      * Check: I emailed 3 people. It was super easy and quick.
