    I had a no spend week last week and am quite pleased. Part of my learning more about finances goal. Having more money tucked away in the bank is a real motivation.

Since I am now on a restricted diet until my mouth heals, that helps towards my weight loss and better eating goal also.

    I love "No Spend Weeks!" A concept that I've found challenging and exciting all at the same time. Glad you had a successful week! BTW, just saw this post! Hope you healed well from your dental surgery too!

    Gardening Goal(Prepping for Spring/Summer)

    Decide which veggies, flowers and at least one fruit to plant
    Prepare the earth for planting
    Nurture and watch my gardens flourish
    Have bounty to share with others
    Enjoy the beauty, eat the edibles and ENJOY
    I started my garden much later than usual. Waiting to see what produce comes forth! Have planted two okra and two tomato plants so far.

    Kindness begets kindness. Enjoy life!
