February: (I've been doing well at the goal I originally set, so I'll keep up that smile and kiss for Hubby.) No eating after dinner 5 nights a week. I've got to allow some wiggle room for those Friday movie nights, Family Home Evening, or date night. I have a habit of snacking late into the evening. Number one: I don't need the extra calories. Number two: I do sleep better when I'm not digesting food. This will be a toughie, but the reminder of this blog hanging over me will help me stick to it!
March: No Facebook. At all.
April: Work on improving my handwriting. Talk to people who have wonderful handwriting, and interview them on what methods they use. Watch tutorials online. Practice. I am self-conscious about my handwriting. It looks like chicken scratch, and I honestly do not know how to change it.
May:
Call my parents and brothers once a week. I get caught up with
day-to-day activities, and tend to neglect relationships. This would be a
great place for me to start.
June: Plan a Girls' Night Out. Doesn't matter what. But I initiate it.
July: Cracking knuckles is verboten. I have had this habit since I was a kid. I crack everything. I will look up strategies to help me shift my focus when I notice I am tempted (or inadvertently do it).
August: Look 'em in the eye! When someone (especially kids or hubby) is talking to me, I will stop my hands and feet and look them in the eye and really listen to what they're saying. I am not behaving courteously when someone is trying to talk to me (or I them) while I'm consumed doing laundry, walking around the house, etc. I need to focus my attention on what is really important. People!

a suggestion for improving handwriting: take a calligraphy class! The principles taught in calligraphy transfer to everyday handwriting as well.
I like your handwriting goal. Trying to reduce hand tension last year I read "Better handwriting in 30 days : developing a more attractive, readable script for business, school, and personal satisfaction". It had interesting whole-arm exercises.
That's a great idea, and I think it would be beneficial. I'll have to look into that.
Thank you for the tip. I will see if I my library has that book.
