It's a quiet day on the homestead the children are all off playing with the various goodies Santa brought them, the hubs is napping, the goats and puppies are even sleeping the day away, and me well I am feeling wordy so thought Id write a bit.
This is the first Yuletide since Ive been back on the farm and while there have been some changes somethings never really do. There were cookies for Santa, a Yule log that wasn't pretty but tasted good, smiling children, and too much candy! Christmas eve dinner was nachos but dinner today will be lasagna a recipe that Ive used and adapted over many years but haven't made it in probably 3 years.
Plans for the new year are already swimming through my head while I sit here listening to video games being played and the littlest farm hands hum and sing Baby Shark for the 1,000th time today. The garden, the new chicken coop, the pasture division (goats on one side pigs on the other), so many budding plans that need to be solidified.
Plans for my own growth and development are forming as well... school starts back on the 8th. I know I said RN was where I was planning to be, I changed my mind as people do and decided phlebotomy might be a good place to find myself so I dropped all my classes and am devoting myself to this course, and am more than a little excited to be doing it. Exercising and making sure I take care of myself is high on the list of plans for the new year as well. So often we as women put others before ourselves often to our own detriment and this is a trend that stops today for me. Self care is important it is also often the first to go and the last to be done so lets see how I do on remembering I am also a people who needs to be cared for.
What are your plans for the new year? Any goals, not resolutions, hardly anyone sticks with resolutions? Where do you see yourself this time next year?
I hope everyone had the bestest Christmas! From all of us here at Full Circle mini Farm MERRY CHRISTMAS!
