Little Plunders are Okay...

#1: Woke up at 7:50 when I'd rather be up earlier. #2: Spilled water on my herbs that were drying. #3: Laced up my boots, took them off, laced them up, took them off, laced them up again. Number 3 is because I thought I needed to do the horse stall but found out someone already done it, came inside, put on shoes to get to garden, went inside for chores, then put them on again to go outside AGAIN. Gah I'd rather do it all in one run since it's a pain lacing up my boots xP, that's just what's gonna happen when I become a busy person. ~~~~~~~~~I also wish to utilize the time I have each day to do all I can without missing anything or GETTING SIDETRACKED. 
Like scrapping up a quick ritual for the Full Moon before i head off to work.

Steadfast goals

I have many plans for myself to accomplish. I want to grow a mushroom garden. I want to have a job that I am happy or ok with doing-to gain my my main income. I want to grow enough food in the growing seasons and preserve them to last me throughout winter-my own food source, not bought by people all over the USA. I want to try WWOOFing. I want to own and play the harp. All of these adventures will happen, and of course I have to stay patient and determined.

Thank your bills

I want to inform all of how critical it is to be thankful all year round. Whatever you believe in, being grateful for the things you have can change your life. Without noticing the minor to big accomplishments I have achieved, I feel angry, frustrated, sad, or I start to brood. Everything you own and everything you have set out to do and have done are big milestones in your world. Celebrate the small things and you will feel abundant. You can do whatever it is you want to do. As long as you have some type of flat board above you, food in your stomach, and warm blankets to lull yourself to sleep, you are prosperous. Remember that there is always someone out there in a worse position than you (to put yourself in perspective of how okay you are). There isn't anything you can't do, really. But make sure your wishes align with the goodness of others and you will be happy too.      It makes me so cheery and hopeful when I look back at the things I have done and the place i'm a...

Yesterday drove away for a 6 hour ride (there and back) to drop off my beloved so he can gain a certification for working a certain field. Wow was it gorgeous up there. The state of agriculture and farming galore. It's wonderful. I only got to see the highway view including some minor cities/towns. We stopped at one brick oven pizza place to be amazed by the quality of ingredients, local produce. Brick oven veggie pizza with no cheese, absolutely stunning. Old buildings, old places, its a glistening sight for me. I watched Tiny House Hunters this morning. I love the tiny houses, I dream of living in one. It seems very perfect-build your tiny dream house for cheap, or just settle into a pre-made one. The only concern is where to put it...since I would really enjoy having a garden! Cottages strike my fancy. I love a well built brick house too.
