Reading Laura Ingalls Wilder sounds like a great idea.

This may be just the change in perspective that I need to become a better me in 2010. Julie, thank you for this post.

I have enjoyed the shared interest and look forward to more unfoldments. Some years back I read that those who annually review and renew resolutions are better off than those who don't -- whatever that "better off" means. And I also keep my goals in the realm of values, looking to deepen the spirituality of my life rather than setting goals whereby I fail. I'm organizing my new plan in The Lang Marjolein Bastin 2010 Nature's Journal Engagement Planner, and this year, one of my resolutions is to keep my plan in focus. Yes, in 2009 I experienced some major distractions and note that I fell short of some achievements. Well, no real loss, but I do resolve to use my Journal to better advantage in 2010. Oh! -- and one of my resolutions will be to read my volume of Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Ozarks. A friend of mine says the world just can't have too much of Laura Ingalls Wilder.

What a wonderful post! And, congratulations on living more in line with your vision during the past year. I feel like we have some common goals, I too wish to enjoy homemaking, be healthier and feel comfortable sharing who I am and my feelings, and not feel that if I every say what I really think (even in a respectful way) I will be "eliminated". More recently when I don't take good care of myself physically I am getting migranes, so I hope to look at this as a way to remind myself to eat right, get rest, etc, rather than a curse. Thanks again for your great posts, and I am glad to have met you this year! Ann Happy New Year Dr. Julie! What a wonderful post!
