New years are often about new beginnings. New Year, new you, new years resolutions, starting fresh, and all. I’m sure a lot of you have already been making plans and have been getting busy. Others of you may be sitting back and still contemplating exactly what needs to happen.
For me though, it’s not that a new year has begun, but the fact that the holidays are over, parties are done, decorations are taken down, and routines have returned. I actually like cleaning up and seeing the house fresh after all the clutter of decorations. Winter begins, and so does the freshness and clear mind the comes with getting back on track.
What are some areas you’d like to get back on track?
I want to plan better for this year’s garden.
I want to get a new surge of energy for the last half of the school year.
I want to go over what I have in food storage and consider what I need to add to my bulk supplies.
I want to plan more make-ahead meals for the freezer so we can eat better and be more frugal.
All of this can seem very overwhelming if I think about it all at once. Where do I start? I know I need more resources in a lot of these areas. Even if I think I have a handle on some areas, I feel like I really want to improve in other areas and it would be great to have more resources.
