Another year has gone by and
my has it been uneventful for me personally; the world on the other hand has had a crazy
year with political unrest, the refugee crises in Europe
and the middle east. The climate has had
its say also this year with a 4 year drought follow by El Nino, California and
the west have been on a very scary roller-coaster ride. One that effects the rest of the country. We get a lot of our food from out west. Here in the east we have had a very warm
year. Its December and we have had only
a handful of cold days how are the trees, insects and animals going to react to
this change in climate.
There is good and bad in everything, I have used very little wood so far this year
and I am still getting lettuce, carrots and collards from the garden.
On reflection 2015 was not a good nor was it a bad year for
me. It started with the loss of my dog
Zeke. He was a good dog and I miss him
very much.
My joints have been telling me that I am getting older another
definite downer for the year. I think
that is why I got WAY behind on the yard work.
Its hard to go up and down the hill with knee that aren't happy. Gotta address the knees this year, I HATE
doctors!!
Aside from the loss of Zeke and the "I'm getting
older" feeling the year pretty much followed the same old same old. Work, garden, friends, camping trip with
friends and to the beach 3 times to see the boys. I know that I have said that I like the same
old same old but I guess I would prefer the same old with a little new for next
year. So what is there to do about it.
This year 2016 I am going to go to school to be a
paramedic. I have been volunteering with
the Floyd County
EMS as an EMT for the past 6 years
and feel this would be a good thing to do.
It wont be easy and the lazy part of me does not want to do it but it
will be good for my mind. It will make
me use the brain a bit more.
Body wise I guess I will just have to trudge on try and lose
a little weight and watch what I eat.
Cut way back on sugar and wheat two big time inflammatory agents for me.
I need to clean out the house this year, I have way too much
stuff.
It would be good to relocate the garden...... Hummmmm
Maybe go on an adventure.........
