Overwhelmed. Exhausted. Embarrassed.
Those are the feelings at the top of my queue about last year right now.
I burned through my enthusiasm sometime in the fall and it hasn't re-sprouted yet.
How can I possibly sum up the learning of a year of preparing to homestead in 2012 and our first year of homesteading in 2013?
Do I have the heart-strength to remember?
Do I want to look?
This morning I do, at least enough to put the title out there and consider what I'd like to write about.
- A year ago this month
- What worked, what didn't work, and what we can do to make it better this year
- What were our goals, what actually happened, and what are we aiming at now
Maybe if I take time to remember, I can laugh and feel some pride in where we've come from instead of only frustration in how far we have to go.
Maybe if I learn from the burn-out, I can pick a more sustainable pace for creating a sustainable life.
Maybe.
Hey, stranger things have happened- sledding with chickens, deer wars, and sweet broccoli, for example.
And I was granted the adventure to be there when they did.
Alright, strap yourselves in.
Let's take a look.
