The holidays are over and we are almost through the first month of the new year. People are now ready for spring. At least once a day I hear I can't wait for April to get here. I'm like WHAT you are willing to wish three or four months of your life away! Yep. Easily.
For for me is nesting. I read more, clean more and enjoy my home more. If you are struggling with the colder and shorter days get out whenever you can. Take a walk at lunch time even around the block. Seriously if you are dressed for it, it usually isn't that cold. I realize it can be THAT cold but use common sense.
People who ski, skate, curl or do a winter activity seem to have it together. They are enjoying the season and making the most out of it. There are often beginners courses in skating, curling and others. Why not try one? If you don't like it. Don't pursue it, but it would be something different and you never know.
If this isn't appealing treat the colder months as time to nest at home. To do a good purge, to reflect on what direction you want to head. Take an on-line course? Journal? Read? Just don't wish your life away it is going quickly enough!

New Year New Decade New Deal
Unbelievable. We started this blog the fall of 2016 and we have rolled into 2020! It started as a joke. Something we could do together. Share experiences and ideas. It turned out to be harder then we thought. It involved more of a commitment than we anticipated.
We never expected to take the blog viral. It has been fun coming up with blog posts. If you have cruised through you will realize we don't come up with many. We've had some months where we haven't posted anything. No excuses just life in general. Also we have not wanted to post without submitting it to the group. Which can be hard with family, work, exercise, crafts and oh life in general like laundry.
So new year and new decade. We are still getting together for coffee and wine as that is what we do. The difference will be a few individual blog posts. We won't be waiting until agreement to post. A few of us have enjoyed writing on the blog and want to continue, so be prepared for more one off posts. Yeah, coffee cluster will still offer their opinion and rants as we get together monthly.
So to a new decade. We hope everyone is excited about filling this decade with adventure.

No resolutions. Nope not this year
Happy New Year. Can you believe it is not just a new year, but a new decade! We decided this decade to start it off right. With no resolutions. Nope nothing. We are not dieting, going to the gym, learning a new language or how to knit. Nothing.
This year we will set small achievable goals. To be kinder with ourselves. To do our best on any given day. To celebrate our wins - which could be getting to the gym that day. Drinking more water than usually that day. Limiting our social media that day.
We will not beat ourselves up over what we didn`t do. For one thing we will be busy celebrating our wins of what we did that day.
So to a new year and decade of celebrating what we achieve not what we don`t,
