How do you spend your week

Christmas is over and now it is the final week of 2011. How do you spend that time? This year I am choosing to use this week to relax from all the stress of getting ready for the holidays. I do not have to worry about baking cookies for the family get togethers, no more Christmas presents to wrap, soon there will be someone's birthday but that is only one present at a time, I take down my Christmas tree and decorations this week because I find a sense of peace from getting everything back to "normal". This is also a good time to reflect on the goals I am wanting to have for the coming year. I want to make sure they are doable so that I can accomplish them. I think it is awful when I set an unrealistic goal and then feel guilty because I was unable to accomplish it.

Caitlyn does not have school this week and my milk goats are dried up for breeding season so I am able to sleep in and I am taking advantage of the opportunity. Now I just need to work on not staying up late. It is important to allow your body to relax and rejuvenate. After all the work of getting ready for the holidays and all the excitement of enjoying them, this week is a good time to allow your body to heal. I believe that if you dont let your body rest then you will get sick so that you have to rest yourself.

I am also hoping to start my blogging more. I really enjoy it and hope to someday be good at it and have lots of people wanting to read it. I personally find my life uninteresting but I have had friends tell me I should blog about it because they think others would find it interesting so I am going to give it a year and see what happens.

I hope and pray that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a blessing filled year.
God bless!
