The New Year always sets a presidence on our list of things we want to accomplish this year that may not have been accomplished last year. For me, I would love nothing more than to lose more weight! Hell, who wouldn't? So instead of setting up a long list of forbidden foods in order to make this year different from those in the past, I make this year my year of moderation. Think about it, the way I see it is, there are so many wonderful foods out there to be sampled and recipes to be tried, meals to be shared, that it seems foolish to attempt to banning them from my menu. Rather, why not have all of these things in moderation! I know this is a concept that is new and it is going to take a minute for everyone to wrap their mind around, NOT! What I will attempt within this discipline is yes I can have one, not six cookies. I can sample and not make an entire meal out of whatever it is I am enjoying. You get the idea, Moderation! Enjoy all things good, wonderful and tasty and do so with discipline. I bet we see a difference in our waistlines.
This Christmas I was given a window garden made for me by my crafty Contractor (My Love, Bryan). It is set up and ready to go on my back porch. I will attempt a small organic herb garden. In my excitement we have purchased all of the herbs and lettuces I think I am going to try. There is something that just says Ta-Da! about walking out my back door and harvesting these future beauties. I will keep you posted on my progress since a green thumb is not something I possess. Here she is, isn't she a beauty? She has been made with an old window and re-purposed barn wood, reinforced with plywood on the interior.
I hope whatever you attempt this year you find it, accomplish it and fulfill it to the best of your wildest dreams! Life is short so live it to it's fullest this is not a dress rehearsal.
Enjoy!
