Good morning world. I have not written in a while. My life has been busier than it has been in a while. Four extra kids tend to do this to a life. Thanksgiving and Christmas has come and gone. New Years Eve is tomorrow. Maybe because it is the end of the year, I keep thinking about the old fashioned lifestyle I have craved in the past.
I googled "old fashioned lifestyle". What popped up was mostly lists of things to incorporate into one's life to be more "old fashioned". I was amazed at the lists. Use technology less, cook from scratch, bake bread, spend time with the family, eat dinners at the dining room table, read more, less television, watch black and white television, garden, can and put away your own food, use natural cleaners, hang clothes out to dry, etc.
A lot of this list I already have going on in my life. I have not made bread in a while. However, I do cook almost completely from scratch. I have not been using the clothes line because it is winter and I use the heat from the dryer to help heat that part of the house as well as add some moisture to the air. I love to read. However, I will confess I have not been reading as much as I want. We usually garden and I can what we grow. However, this summer with getting use to extra kids our garden turned into a forest.
I want to get back to my basics and my old fashioned lifestyle. God willing, I will.
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Some of my thoughts and actions,
Elizabeth
