When I started thinking about my goals for 2019, I was initially at a loss. I did a lot in 2018 and feel good about it. I don’t necessarily need to do anything differently. However, after letting my thoughts percolate for a while, I realized that, even if I want to continue making progress on existing projects, I still have goals for 2019. I also have some things that are not necessarily goals, but things I want to do this year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Self-Sufficiency and Resourcefulness<\/strong> In 2018, I learned how to roast a whole chicken and make broth from its carcass, I started sewing again, and I’ve gotten a lot better at knitting.

Something I’ve started thinking about is how to make better use of what I have and not be wasteful\u2014to be a citizen and not a consumer. This is driven by wanting to leave a smaller impact on the environment and by the belief that we are what we do, not what we consume. I have been taking small steps to be more resourceful and conscientious, but this year I want to make a point of behaving responsibly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have embraced athlete life<\/a>. This year, I want to get stronger and better at my sports and take better care of my body (not that I did a shabby job last year!). My goals are to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
