January 2021

 The holidays officially come to an end today. Our holidays have included a number of intimate gatherings, outdoor hikes, and ZOOM gatherings. We made the best of a challenging holiday season, and now I'm ready to get back to a healthy routine. What will take priority in January?

We'll get outside a lot in January--I found all those winter walking clothes, and we'll explore a nmber of nature trails close to our home. January will also find us catching up on appointments, getting ready to do our taxes, continuing house chores/projects, and reading some of those books that are piled high all over the house. 

Specifically, my to-do list includes these activities:

  • Reading a novel about Polish childhood, immigration, and life in the United States
  • Getting the hydroponic garden going
  • Figuring out a good number of favorite plant-based main meals--meals we'll turn to time and again. So far eggplant parmesan is one of those meals.
  • Getting our tax forms done early.
  • Working on the Yoga challenge--a great challenge I found online
May it be the relatively quiet, routine-oriented month I hope for--a good month to get things done. Onward.
