Good evening! As I begin I must admit my mind is ''rambling at warp speed", if that's possible... I have so much I'm thinking about right now that my thoughts and ideas jump from one to the other and back faster than I can write down! As we drove Rt 355, 88 and 290 to Austin Ave in Oak Park a zillion feelings, thoughts and ideas ran through my mind... wow!! The city is so cool cuz there's so much there... man this neighborhood actually has a sign saying "no drugs allowed"... can you say scary?!?! But, man this area is pretty! And the smell of compounded intense car fumes~ Ugh (came home with a sinus headache)!!
And I've been thinking more about what I truly enjoy and how that pertains to my future... I truly enjoy auditing books (I totally see why my Dad enjoyed auditing books for Owens Illinois and why it gave him stress/ an ulcer)... and I love helping people think through their problems... there is something about watching someone begin Brett o look at something from a new angle and solve their own problems! Wondering if there's a way to combine these into a job as I age...? Maybe freelance part-time jobs are the answer..? Maybe I could have fun with this! Some auditing/ accounting, counseling, permaculture classes, knitting classes, overnight childcare and running a home bakery... ...?
I don't want to retire. I want to cut back our bills enough that I can live life on my own terms. By the time I am completely ready to put all of this into place Matt will be out of High School and even more independent (is that possible?) So... now is the time for laying all the pieces into place... and so I will keep going forward here on our humble homestead... and, although it may seem like my projects (which appear bizarrely random) aren't accomplishing anything toward this goal, really my method is accomplishing it more quickly than any other would...
And so... well... for now we concentrate on goals for the next twelve (12) months... the next year will be awesomely critical for our goals!! As Matt and I pull it all together we move closer and closer to moving on with our lives and gaining the quality of life we desire and deserve.
With teamwork and prayer we can accomplish anything!!! :-)
