Happy New Year...

Happy New Year to all!  And Merry (belated) Christmas while I'm at it! 

Hope everyone had a great holiday with friends and loved ones.  I know I did.  Well, as much as I could manage while being a Grinch.  Holidays are just too much for me most times.  Too stimulating with so much visiting, noise, and stress.  I start off so positive, but as the stress and social engagements start to pile up, I get so overwhelmed I end up shutting down and becoming a hermit.  Its my only defense.  That being said, I do love seeing all my family and I love the spirit of Christmas.

Sorry, bit of a tangent there.   Back on point.  Happy New Year!

2014 was a tough one, one I would not like to repeat.  2015 is going to be my year.  I'm going to really focus on my goals.  I have so many.

1) Clean up my eating habits.
I am terrible for eating properly.  I feel this is due in part by me feeling sick all the time.  Who wants to make food when you feel like you've been hit by a truck or have a pounding headache for the third day in a row?  Not me!  Hence, I buy convenience foods, eat out, or just don't eat.  None of this is healthy.  This year, I'm going to focus more on prepping meals in advance and I feel that will help with a lot of my problems.  If I already have a meal ready to cook, what's my excuse for eating out? 

2) Write more.
I just love to write, but I never do it.  That's going to change.

3) Less TV, more books.
Says it all really.

I have several smaller goals that I will be working on as well, but these 3 are my main focus.  If I can dedicate even a fraction of my day on any of them, I will be a better person for it.

What about everyone else?  Who else has new goals for the new year?

HAPPY NEW YEAR

Happy New Year to all!

This last year has been filled with fun, and filled with sorrow! In just the last month, we got married, my man broke his hand and had to wait two weeks before a doctor would even look at it, and our old man, Buddy, passed away very suddenly on the 15th! Poor guy... He was sick for a long time, and I guess his old body couldn't take it.

I have set myself some new goals for the new year!

1) Blackberries. Maybe this year I can get rid of them (HA!)
2) Build a chicken coop. Nothing fancy, but for when we move!
3) Move!
4) Update the blog at least once a week... We'll see how that goes!

This years garden is going to be different! The peas were a bit of a bust, so was the corn, and the cucumbers never had a chance it seems! The spinach was lame, and the tomatoes did nothing but annoy me! This year will be squash, more corn, and lots of lettuce! I loved having fresh lettuce to eat everyday!

Here's hoping the new year will be better than the last! Who knows what's in store for our little family?

I dedicate this next year to you, Buddy
