My P365 January Recap

Well, hello February!

I can't believe we are 1/12 of the way through Project ThreeSixtyFive.

Mostly I can't believe we're only 1/12 of the way through, January seemed forever-long.

At the start of January {probably more accurately, the end of December} I hung six months of a calendar on my closet door. {It was a free download.} I did so with incredible accuracy and beauty, using torn pieces of painter's tape {see photo}. Obviously, the display was not my primary concern.

Most evenings, I would record whether or not I met each of my four project goals for the day. If I had, I wrote the way in which it was met as well. I also wrote the name of each person that received a note to ensure that I don't double-up too often. I missed a few items here and there, but as I look at my count today, I'm really glad I recorded what I did. {It also makes me really excited to see my totals at the end of the year.}

In the spirit of accountability, I thought I'd share about my successes from this month.

So, here we go.

My January P365:
Be Active: 20/31
Be Grateful: 96/31 (I wrote a lot of cards this month)
Be Expressive: 15/31
Be Bold: 26/31

Four Things I Learned:

1. I really like to be active. "Exercising" always equals running in my head, but "being active" is so much more fun than that! Also, I love to ride my bike.

2.  It's easier to write a note each day when I've thought through that week's recipients. There's room for spontaneous notes, but it takes away the 11pm stress of "who in the world could I thank today?!"

3. I already have everything I need to be exactly who God's created me to be. More on this lesson {and how I learned it} later.

4. The more I face my fears, the more fears I can name—it's almost overwhelming.

And, since it's February 2nd, here's how February 1st went: wrote my note, and two blogs, went on a walk and conquered a fear...so, four for four so far this month!
