    New to composting? Be sure to check out the action resource links to learn tips and more about it. As you transition from throwing food away to composting, what do you notice about how much you are tossing? How will you use your compost once it is ready?

    It's been an eye opening experience to try composting. The amount of food waste I produce was always disguised in the trash, but now it's obvious how much food waste I produce. Now that I'm aware, I can act accordingly to reduce my waste, or find more things to compost and less things to throw in the trash.

    I wish I'd followed through on my meditation challenge more! There's always going to be something else to do, read, see, etc. and it's easy to let those things take over your mind. I'll be meditating today in hopes of making it a more daily habit.

    This made me realize how unregulated my sleep schedule is. A better nightly routine would probably do wonders for my sleep .
