1. Gardening ~ just a little in containers. Arugula and some

herbs.

2. Cleaning ~ i need to do this BAD! i want to go through

cupboards and shelves to clear out the clutter and give " stuff "

away to freecycle or goodwill.

3. Exercise ~ i plan to go walking every day with my fat

little JRT. She just loves to go on walks and now that the

weather is nice she really needs to.

Every day is Earth Day!

Recycle, re-use, and simplify.

Make time for stillness, silence, and solitude.

The world can be noisy, and we are subject to

all kinds of noises nearly every waking hour.

We are also often " on the go " and unable to

relax. Being alone in a peaceful place and

making time for quiet can help you stay in

touch with yourself.

Yes, all of the above. I want to plant my container

garden, work in my flower beds, mulch, start a compost

pile (even tho my HOA doesn't allow it), get my house

back in shape by cleaning, de-cluttering, organizing,

and doing repairs (I need to replace a chandelier and

my disposal died 3 days ago, so I'm gonna try to

replace it myself). I'm about to try to go back on

the no sugar and dairy diet that makes me feel so much

better. I also want to walk more and continue doing

yoga several days a week.

I don't have any plans for Earth Day, but I do recycle

and re-use all year round.

I'd like to try going through a stack of easy salad recipes in the

files, pasta, grain, bean types and take those for lunch to work with

me.

Weightloss? Nah, it took a long time to break the jeans in just the

way I like them, I don't want to start with another size. (:- ) Donna

Always simplifying and " decluttering " . As I continue in the process I

find it easier and easier to let go of things I once thought immutable.

 

Maintain consistency in my exercise. I am really enjoying lifting

weights, and would like to see some significant improvement in

strength over the next month or so. Also in cardio. I got a heart

rate monitor for Christmas and I've been lax - need to get it out and

use it!!

 

Continue with the sugar reduction.

 

It'd be nice to get a job too. :-)

We'll probably be hiking. :-) We also try to use as little as

possible, simplify/reduce our buying, and recycle as much as possible.

It's easier, often, to just not buy things in the first place....
