It's September and its this time of year that I make changes for myself. October 1st is my new year and all September I mull over what changes I need/want to make in my life.
The changes I am mulling over this year are;
1. staying out of the grocery stores as much as possible. I plan to start with going only twice per month and then gradually try to end up at once per month or maybe even longer! Don't know about that though.
A great deal of being able to do this is to get used to working with what I have in my larder and either doing without or changing my plans when I fall short of supplies.
I'm home more than in the past three years and i plan on making this a habit rather than the norm. mental shifts are in store. I will have more time to use what I have and make those changes as I will not be spending so much time away from home.
2. finding something to learn. art? drawing? herbal medicine? cooking? I don't know yet and this is a big worry for me. Like I HAVE to be learning something. Perhaps I should just take this winter to heal up from the last three years. Rest and recuperate. Let the Spirit move me.
3. devoting more time to my spiritual life. I have two books lined up for devotional/spiritual development but after that, well, I'm working on it. Trying to listen to what the Lord wants from me.
4. quality day road trips. once per month if possible. even an over-nighter if that is called for. stretching my horizons further than the coast.
more to come
