This weekend we plan for our 2009 direction and rest. Well at least thats the plan-LOL. One thing that I have noticed about this lifestyle is there is always something that needs your time and attention. Taking rest days have to be intentional. They don't always happen the way you plan but if you don't 'take' the time you won't get it. The body needs rest and so does the Soul. I've read alot about setting goals-some for and some against----the way I look at it, it is more of setting a direction for the new year. Finding area's that need improvement, making plans for new things, reflecting on the accomplishments and failures of the past year, learning and growing. I find it most helpful and it keeps us focused. It's a time prayer and thankfulness. It's also a time to discover what is priority in each others minds for 2009. It is easy to say we need to do this or that as we go along but to find out what is most important in each others minds is the key. Take for example DH and I.....What is top priority in his mind is a larger farm truck and hay storage barn....in mine is a solar freezer and increased storage of household items and animal feed. These above all the other are whats important in our homestead thoughts. So out of the dozen or so goals for 2009 these things need to be at the top. Then there are the simple to accomplish things. These are the things like adding fruit bushes/trees, improving a milking stand, a needed tool.....easy to do items that improve your quality of life or meet a need. As fast as time goes by here on the farm it is important to take this time and reevaluate each others desires and homesteading goals as to keep your focus together and to build a lifestyle that everyone enjoys and finds peace in. Just my thoughts on the subject>Blessings>faithfarm
