The snow is melting, but it is still very cold.
Rain will be here soon, so all this white stuff will disappear.
I don't know how warm it will be, but it won't be this cold!
I use to visit the midwest as a child... and I have lived in Illinois as an adult... through a winter... at least one. It has been so long since that time it is hard to remember. I mostly remember having to drive my van, which was only a metal shell with no flooring or insulation of any kind, many long miles in the dead of winter snow... it was like driving in a freezer. I often wonder how I made it.
I was raised in California, mostly. Winters were rain... and flooded streets.
I am heading into module number four with the mini-course. It is on "time blocking." I have heard of this, but not sure I have done it. Not as a planning strategy for achieving your goals, anyway.
Today was module number three of the five in the course. It was on meal planning -- to take the stress and waste of time it can be to figure out food for a family. It was an interesting video, and I like the worksheets she provides. I want to try them out. They are created with general use in mind, but it is a similar process for many food-oriented sheets to plan meals. (I can't find the main website to request the free BEST YEAR EVER (2017 for 2018) mini-course, but the planner she offers is called LIVING WELL PLANNER, and the book she wrote is LIVING WELL, SPENDING LESS, and the mini-course is at pages with her name :: Ruth Soukup. The best bet may be :: livingwellspendingless.com )
I am trying to switch to more fruits and veggies these days, because of my viewing of FORKS OVER KNIVES. Finding replacement meals for a veggie lifestyle is really a challenge, even when you didn't eat much meat... or eggs. Cheese is my downfall. I haven't figured out what to do about my oils and butters and sugars... fresh produce is great! I love it! But what do you do with a baked potato when you are used to eating it with butter and sour cream, or sometimes cheese?
I'm starting some crafting projects today. Eventually, I want to photograph the processes I go through and post them at my crafts blog :: CRAFTS EXPLORED. I'm working on getting the right equipment to do this. Right now, I need to focus on developing my products and getting some listings put up. My ONE digital item at etsy.com/shop/work2gather is about to expire. I want to change this from a digital product to an actual copy, matted or fully framed. You have until the 24th to purchase my digital copy. It is one of my favorite creations, a writing called SERVANTS.
Well... time to get going.
Until next time,
In Christ,
Deborah Martin
