Since the beginning of the year I have a Business Mentor/Coach so things are improving.

1. 6. 5:30 if I’m cycling to work (failed scheme #537 was stick to 5:30 through the winter and do a yoga session. Nope). 7 at weekends. I like to sleep in but I know it ruins the day.
2. Tons.
3. I’ve joined some online scripture reading groups and really love them. Partly it means I read and think about – interact with – scripture every day; partly (& this hit me when I tried to do an equivalent scripture study on my own – failed scheme #735) because in those groups I am part of a Christian community.

Like you, he said that if we can’t do our whole usual routine, we can at least do something, and that anything is better than nothing. I have a routine for Bible reading that involves the passages our church is currently reading 5 days a week, and then my own continual trek through the Bible, plus a devotional book (currently Joni Eareckson Tada’s Spectacle of Glory), plus, if there is time, a Christian non-fiction book. But on Sundays I just read the Daily Light on the Daily Path reading for the day, and on other busy days try to do at least that, too. When we started attending our current church and found that they go through passages at home and then discuss them on Sunday, I wasn’t sure how I was going to fit that into what I already do. I didn’t want to stop what I was doing. But most weeks I can figure out a way, depending on the length of the passages involved. It may slow down my own reading, but that’s all right. I am really enjoying the discussions on Sunday.

1) Usually about 6. I’m trying to work towards getting up a little earlier – it makes the rest of my day go together better if I do. But that would necessitate getting to bed earlier, too.

2) I have a stitchery project I started ages ago, but ran out of one of the yarn colors, then couldn’t find anything like it in stores. I finally decided I can use one of the other yarns in the kit without it being too noticeable, but just haven’t gotten back into it. And now I am even considering changing the decor I have in that room. LOL! But I should still finish it anyway.

3) The morning quiet time mentioned above.

I need to do something with home video tapes, too.
