Sub Zero Temperatures in NNY = worst pain so far

We have below zero temps here in Northern NY state. With the wind chill we have temps around -35 fahrenheit. I am experience joint pain in places I've never had it much before. My ankles & feet, back & hips and then of course my hands are very painful.
I found a very interesting article while i was browsing the internet about cold weather and it's effect on RA and other related diseases.

My sewing hands ...

I love to sew. I've turned my love of sewing into a small work from home mom business. It's very small now, but i had hoped to grow it more and more each year. I'm not giving up on that dream, but I am worried.
I love to make unique things. From clothing for kids to super hero capes & masks. I even do a lot of re-purposing of items into new & exciting things. I even quilt from time to time.
So of course in the back of my mind lately has been, what will I do if I have to give up this hobby? Well the only answer I can come up with is that I will NOT give up. I don't want to, I don't intend to and I hopefully don't have to.
I am exploring options to make sewing work better for me. I am moving my sewing studio back to my home, so that I can sew more when I am feeling good, no need to get out to "go" to the sewing space, it's right here. I am also working on ways to make that space more ergonomic and comfortable for me.
So my word for today is ADJUST. I am going to adjust my surrounding to work better for me.

Resolutions 2014 ...

I'll admit I'm not great with resolutions, but i intend to stick to them this year. I need to get my RA under control. I need to continue my work from home mom sewing business. I will prevail in 2014.

GOALS -

Write a new blog post at least 5 days a week.
Create & post at least one tutorial every month.
Lose 50 lbs.
Exercise at least 5 days per week.
Find either a local or online support group for people with RA.

There it is, seems very attainable to me.
Feel free to comment with your goals for 2014. I'd love to hear them. I hope that one of your goals will be to follow my journey this year.
