.twenty twelve...

Resolutions...we all have them!

As I think back on this past year there are many thoughts that come to mind...

I will not say that it has been an easy year

but,

I will say, that amidst the many trials we've been through this year there have been many many more blessings!

I've set 3 goals this year, they are simple and sweet goals,

but very powerful at the same time,

or

doing them and seeing the outcome will and can be powerful...

I didn't do a "word" this year like I've done in the years past,

I've just decided to stick with my goals which would encompass my new word anyway.

I feel good about this new year and my new goals.

so far, so good!

a new year, a new word...1-1-11

Happy New Year!

2011 looks and sounds so futuristic to me, so space-agey!

it's weird to write it, huh?

but hey,

I find it so renewing to start a New Year, it refreshing, it's new, and it feels good,

something like; to clean the slate and start anew, something better, to try harder!

I've been thinking about my 'new word' for this year

and while I'm lying here and can't sleep.....

oh, because maybe someone is SNORING,

I'm thinking upon my word from last year....(which was only 3.5 hours ago)

but 'magical' was my word,

and looking back we did have some 'magical' moments in 2010....

I thought my mom chose a good word for this new year.

~reach out~

So,

my new word for 2011 will be

~Renew~

It all makes perfect sense in my head and it feels very calming to my heart,

cuz each new day will be new,

and I can be renewed, and start fresh,

and if the day before I wasn't perfect, which umm ya!

I won't beat myself up or sweat the small stuff,

I will just remember that with each new morning, there is a clean slate, a renewal...

a renew!!!

sounds good to me!

SOMEONE......IS STILL SNORING!!!

dang-it.

calm.magical.renew.

twenty-ten

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it's a New Year,

a new decade....

I like the turning of the calenders,

it causes everyone to reflect and want to start anew,

with a fresh scents of being,

of letting go of the old and striving for something better,

and to better yourself,

so that others around you will benefit from your strivings...

I like change, it cleanses my soul....

I like looking back at goals that have been accomplished

and goals that need to be goals again!

.

2009 was a good year

even the past 8 weeks of the lay-off

we've felt blessed.....

for which I'm so grateful,

it's always from where you might

least expect it,

Christians friends from a different faith

helped make our Christmas brighter this year,

I love how the Lord works in mysterious ways...

.

I have a good feeling about this New Year...

change is already taking place,

starting with Candice,

more on that to come cuz that's a post of it own!

.

I've been thinking about what my "new" word for this year should be...

last year the word was 'calm'....

I need to find a word that describes how I'm feeling,

and how I want this year to take shape,

and right now I'm feeling alot...

I know the word will come to me, it feels like its right on the tip of my tongue,

I just want it to be a magical word!

and a magical New Year....
