One little word

For the past few years ali edwards (a well known memory keeper) has started a tradition of picking a word every new year... something that speaks to her, or something she wants to strive to do. the concept has caught on and a LOT of people are following suit. I've avoided it - I'm not a big resolution person (not that this is a resolution but more of a state of mind) not big on "following the crowd" and most importantly it is hard for me to decide on ONE word for an entire year!! That's a major commitment:) but this year something is different - my word came to me as i was hopping around on pinterest... peace.

This year i am going to drown out all the noise of others. I will be kind. I will respect their opinions. I will listen to what it is they have to say. BUT I will not let their words affect me.



This year I am going to learn to be calm & at peace with who I am... take it or leave it folks I am going to be ME!


The biggest thing I am going to try to do this year is live in the present. Not dwell on the past. Not look ahead to the future. I want to enjoy every moment I have with my wonderful family and friends. Especially those two little crazy boys who are growing up WAY too fast!!

So if at any point I'm with you & I am not working on this one little word... smack me:)
