ThingsI plan to work on for next season--Going forward

I am concerned about my job.  Not so much my job--but the fact that my industry is undergoing major changes.  I'm wondering what would happen if I was laid off, and one of the things I plan to work on for next season is money management--just in case. 

I want to stop spending as much.  With luck we're bringing a kid into this house in the next year so we have to have some more money. I need to be saving more. How to help do that--one way--which will kill two birds with one stone will be meal planning. 

If I know what I want and what I plan to make, it is far easier to do dinner.  Or I can call D who gets home earlier than I do, and have him start stuff.  I want to start meal planning, and knowing what dinner will be.  That way even when I'm tired and get home later, I have a healthy meal waiting.  That will also take care of eating healthier.  (that two birds, one stone thing)

 

I also plan to write more--maybe blog more--maybe just finish the damn books.  I have to work harder.  I have the same amount of time that J. K.Rowling did at the beginning of her career.  I have the same 24 hours a day that Nora Roberts had at the beginning of her career.  They did it. I can too. 

I also want to take some time to meditate and think and read--and pray.  I want to be better than I have been. I want to be a better friend, a better wife, a better daughter.  I want to be the kind of person I want as my friend--if that makes any sense. 

Will I manage it?  Who knows?  But I will try.  I'll probably succeed sometimes and fall short others.  But I will go into this next year with more hope than I have ever known.  

 

I wish everyone a happy and healthy new year. L'shana Tova Tikatevu--G'Mar Tova.

I like your attitude of trying, even though you know that sometimes you won't succeed. The times you do succeed will make it worth the effort.
