Ramblings of the journey to find my fulcrum of life, and achieve that perfect balance between living with my family & neighbors, and living the natural and eco-friendly life I want to live.

Is It the Winter Weather, or Me?

Maybe it is the relentless deluge of snow this year (which I actually really enjoy!) or the day after day of fridged temperatures (which I enjoy to a point, but when the temperature is in the single digits, or less, I protest and complain with the masses) but I am loosing some of my desire to fight this fight. I am so tired of always doing things the "hard" way.

This lack of desire has ebbed deep into my psyche, because I actually subconsciously bought Peanut Butter Capt'n Crunch cereal this week. I had no idea I bought it. Seriously. FM doesn't believe me (which angers me) but it is the truth. It was around 9pm and I was on the phone talking to a friend trying to make last minute arrangements for an annual trip a bunch of girlfriends and I take, and apparently talking, thinking, and shopping are too difficult for me! I remember thinking *I* really wanted PB Capt'n Crunch, but it is so not good for you that it is defiantly on my "Do Not Purchase" list. But when I got home FM was shocked to see a box of it in my purchases. So was I! (But secretly glad, and the girls and I have all had a bowl of it for breakfast now! Sugar them up and send them off to school!)

Maybe I just over-exhausted myself this holiday with "pioneer" activities and projects. Maybe I am just half frozen most of the time from my 64 degree home and sub-zero outside temps. Maybe I am fighting food poisoning from homemade yogurt & keifer (smirk.) Or, maybe I am just tired of always trying to find a "new and improved" way of living my life in this world.

Well, tomorrow is a New Day. Maybe I'll be less tired of the fight. .......maybe.......
