Happy New Year!!!
So, what resolutions have you made or broken yet? You know, it IS already twelve hours into the new year…Actually, I don’t believe in setting myself up for failure so NO! I have made no resolutions nor do I intend to create any.
On the other hand, I did hear from a blogger friend, Peggy K who offered a suggestion that actually sounded like a grand substitute. She mulls over her life and comes up with a word, or sometimes one comes upon her that she can live by for the year such as ‘Simplify’ or ‘Gratitude’.
That proposition sounded feasible to me, so for the past 24 hours I have been trying to ponder a satisfactory word—
Ummm, let’s see, ‘Thrifty’ …nah… sounds too cheap!
‘Gratitude?’ well, truth be told, I don’t lack in that department.
How about ‘Giving’? I would kinda like to think I do that already-what do you think?
‘Practical’? No, actually the opposite might be a better fit! At times I’m too sensible for my own good.
‘Helpful’? ‘Sensitive’? ‘Responsible’?
Well, after much deliberation I actually think the word ‘present’ as in to (be) present in what it is I’m doing. At times as a result of the many obligations, demands and expectations life throws at me I’m not focused on the moment. Or just as bad, I’m wondering what else it is I should be doing or what else is next on my list to do…So YES, my word for this year is to (be) present…now I need to go write it throughout my house!
Happy New Year my friends!
...and whatever journey 2012 takes you on
let it be full of promise, hope and love.
