New year is always bitter sweet. I like the clean slate and the calm after the rush of holidays, but boy do I hate to see all my goal totals start at zero again! Gah! It makes me antsy, I like I need to jump start, but if it isn't payday, there isn't much to do but wait. Boo.
This morning I am feeling super thankful for everything, though. I had a nightmare that we lost everything and my family had to move into the worst housing projects in New Orleans. I've seen them. No one should have to live like that. It was a very detailed dream, down to every inch of what the apartment looked like, the rules we had to follow, the debate of letting the kids play on the grass for fear of violence, etc. It was intense. I don't know what brought it on, but it's stuck with me today. We are so very lucky, and I'm lucky we know it.
On another note, I found this series following a family trying to eat a super healthy real food diet on $600 a month for a family of five.

Sorry, I can't remember how to hyper link anymore. I suck!
Back to zero, and the nightmare!
