I think that this is how I am going to try and live this year. It will be about following our hearts so that we can have a year filled with happiness. That's not to say we won't work hard to achieve our goals - we will, but the goals will be the ones set by our heart's desire, not a bunch of "shoulds".
Prices on so many things went up today. Without any increase in our income, we'll also be looking very hard at where we can cut costs. It's not like we have a lot of fat in the budget so Larry & I will have to talk about what goes first. I suppose as we age, prices continue to increase and eventually the income starts to decreases...we are going to be doing more and more of this for the rest of our lives. This is the reality that they never told you about aging...after a lifetime of working for a living, you get to enjoy less and less until you die. I know that sounds negative but for some reason, I am very focused on trimming the proverbial fat today.
I may have recovered a good chunk of my emotional health in 2012 but this year I need to get our house in order... both the physical residence and my physical self. Much as I hate to face this, I need to get ready to return to the work force, even if it's only in a limited way.
