There comes a time when a person will look back and evaluate how they've lived their lives. Some will be happy with the way things turned out but I'm sure a vast majority will be dissatisfied with at least one area, whether their job, family life or spirituality.
I've been doing a LOT of evaluating lately, especially when I watch the news. Don't get me wrong, I love this country. I love living in America. But it's messed up. We keep looking to the Government to solve all of our problems, when I believe we should be relying more on ourselves. The strain of so many needing assistance in this country is breaking it. (Some mismanagement also but who am I to point fingers, I can barely balance my checkbook.)
The point of this blog is to follow as I strive for more Self Sustainable life. To clean up my act, so to speak. Be more Self Fulfilled. (Love all these titles, lol.) In five years I want to be as far from how I am living my life as I can be. I want the farm, garden, compost heap and rain barrel kind of life. I want to sell produce at farmers markets, recycle and upcycle things that still have a use.
So how am I going to start all this? Tons of research. Of the Internet and Magazine sort. I'm so close to committing to a subscription to Mother Earth News, the original guide to living wisely, love how they put that. Bought their latest edition at the store along with one I'd never heard of before, The New Pioneer which I absolutely loved. Full of wonderful articles that I didn't have to hunt for among the ads.
It's a work in progress, that's really all I can say for now. I'll be posting from time to time as I learn some old tricks to living right.
