The First Day

I think it was probably a good thing that I spent 9 hours on the road today picking up my kids from winter Bible camp, otherwise I would have been tempted to shop all the wonderful New Year sales! We did pass by my very favorite outlet mall in the world and I felt a little twinge of sadness that I couldn't go window shopping and perhaps purchase something................

In some ways I am feeling a lot of "relief" today!  I don't have to:

1. Open all the sale emails I received today
2. Check my Target Cartwheel app for new savings just posted
3. Stop by my local Goodwill when I run to the grocery store
4. Check out Old Navy and Target because they are conveniently close and always have something on sale
5. Look at my ThredUp app
6. Look at my Poshmark app and sort by newest listed to see if anything new and fabulous has been added that I might miss out on

Wow, I'm going to have a lot of free time on my hands. I did try a new hobby today - listening to an audio book! I liked it - I think I will be doing more of it. I want to complete Modern Day Mrs. Darcy's 2016 Reading Challenge and expand my mind. I read a lot actually, but it's either about fashion, health, fitness, self-improvement, organization or spiritual matters. It is nice to read fiction for enjoyment and not be berating myself for something I should be doing better!  

Happy New Year!!!
