Day 174/365
Okay, so it's Monday and we're waiting at the end of the drive for Matt's school bus which is now two (2) minutes late... it's okay as I don't have to be to work for fourteen (14) minutes to be on time.
Our homestead has quite a few trees and bushes, especially around the perimeter, making it quite woodsy and private. We like both woodsy and private so this is a very good place to live!

Hat #46 for the Homeless 2014
Now that we're home I'm spoiling my injured teen a bit (only a bit) and catching up on some random cleaning... I must admit I'm enjoying being home...
So, what do you think of this hat? I'm just so not but it is super soft and will be really warm so my goal is accomplished!!!
What one thing are you doing today to help someone in greater need than yourself??

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!!! :-)
