I had planned to share a post last week with different information, but I wasn’t able to focus due to a very painful infection. I could feel it coming on at the beginning of last week, and I was foolish and kept going as normal. I also let myself get really stressed out about some silly tax forms. What I learned from this experience was that it’s important to rest, start on natural treatments right away, and rather than stressing, I should have just hired those tax forms done from the beginning and made a little more soap or preserved a little more food to make up the difference.

Our family made up this game a few years ago to play at our Christmas. We had so much fun that we have played it several times with other families that we had over to our farm. Everyone has said they really enjoyed playing it and one family even went home and made up their own version of it. It’s great for building relationships, getting to know other people, and the laughter it brings is good for all of us. We especially love playing it on the holidays. The fact that all ages can participate is the best part. So often you find the men visiting in one area, the women in another, and kids off playing and possibly causing trouble. This game brings everyone together! Let’s encourage family togetherness.

The holidays are quickly approaching and many people wait until they are over and the new year is upon them to set goals and make changes in their health. Did you know that less than 10 percent of people actually accomplish the goals they set during that time. If there’s something you want to change or accomplish, I encourage you to start today.
