2023 was a good year for me. My word of the year was progress and I felt that I did make progress in quite a few areas of my life. There are certainly still areas that need improvement but overall a good year.
I have realised that I am happy with the life that I have here. It is simple and it works for DH and I. The things I enjoy most are organising events (I like the organising more than the event most times), getting together with my family, being comfortable in my home, doing a good job at work. Simple meals, day trips, shopping trips, watching a good movie. I don't need fancy things to make me happy.
This year will be one of great change as DH and I look at potential retirement and a move to the farm mid year. Not sure if I am quite ready but need to go with whatever happens.
Time to set some goals for 2024. I am not sure if they are all doable but will not know if I don't try.
*Read 10 books
*Lose some weight before turning 60
*Maximise my time with family and friends
*One adventure a month
*Finish the bedroom at the farm, make it a haven for DH and I
*Learn some "farm" skills
*Major declutter before moving
*Meal plan/budget well
*Before I buy something ask the questions. Do we need it, will we use it, can we "afford" it, is there a substitute?
*Remove 100 unwanted items from the home
*Enjoy doing a few more crafts
*Schedule some more baking days/freezer prep days
*Try to find some joy out of every day
