Another New Year at Our Little House
It’s that time again when we start looking toward a new year and making those resolutions – or not.
I posted last year that I typically do not make a whole lot of resolutions, as they never seem to work out.
Instead, I try to focus on self-improvement on a daily basis.
Other than reformulating my business plan and setting goals for the business, the only real goal I set for myself is typically a reading list.
Last year, I set the goal of reading 26 books, one for every other week.
Assessing Those New Year's Resolutions
As I wrote a month or so ago, I only had one New Year’s Resolution: Read 26 books, which is 1 book every other week. I took on this goal after my friend, Heather, almost made it to her goal of 52 books last year.
Within the first few months of moving to The Little House, I found a community book club through our volunteer fire department’s newsletter. I’ve enjoyed meeting the neighbors (some of them live more than 10 miles away, but they’re still considered neighbors here) and getting together with them once a month at their homes where we enjoy some appetizers and then a potluck lunch after discussing the chosen book for the month. The eclectic pick of books ensures that I read something I wouldn’t normally pick, which is also a benefit of belonging to a book club.
The pick this month is “The Book Thief.”
