January 2023-same me, new year

Here we are, almost through January.  I just realized that I did not make any New Year Resolutions.  I generally make a few, nothing major.  I do like to draw attention to things I would like to change or create in my life each New Year.  For some reason, I just forgot this year.

Maybe it’s because I do not have much about my life that I would like to change.  I am quite pleased with my daily routines, and I like our occasional excursion here and there.  This makes me sound like I am 82 and not 52, but it’s true.  I like my life.

But, since it crossed my mind, I figured I should make some plans for this new year.

1. I signed up for an in-person language class.  I have been using Babbel,(would definitely recommend) with quite a bit of success I might add.  But, it is time to get back to traditional classes.  The big start date is at the end of February.  Wish me luck!
2. I plan to continue lifting weights.  I started about 8 months ago, and have been feeling pretty good.  I am going to stick with it and add some work with my kettle bells as well.
3. I am officially no longer coloring my hair.  I haven’t bleached it in about a year and a half, but, I am always thinking about it.Sometimes I put a temporary grey on it, just to even things out a bit.  But, I will no longer bleach it or color it.  Time to accept the years of the crone, and look the part!
4. I am working on gathering all the seeds that I need for the garden this year.  I will get them started indoors or in the greenhouse in February.
5. We are going to give hydroponic towers a try this year.  Dirk has assured me that he will build me two next month.  We had such issues with drought the past two years that I think hydroponics is the way to go for my tomatoes and leafy greens. They require so much less water than a traditional garden plot.  I will still use my garden plot, just adding towers to the mix.
6. I want to get back to writing on a more regular basis.  Not sure how I got so far away from it, but I did.

So, for the most part, I am keeping up with my same routines, just adding a few things. Always adding new plants of course!  I just planted some pomegranate seeds, hoping to have a small pomegranate tree in my living room!

How about you?  Any big changes in store for your New Year?  Or, staying the same course? I look forward to hearing from you in the comments!
