so I am a little behind. but I am trying to catch up, that is what is important!
I love a new start. Beginnings are......clean, fresh, new. Unblemished. Full of possibilities. I have these kinds of thoughts at the start of a new year, and throught the year, but they are usually burried under guilt. The things I should have done that I didn't. Things I should be doing, but am not. sigh. This is why resolutions aren't really my thing. Too much pressure for me with my perfectionist tendencies. If I don't get it right I usually give up. Not very productive!!
In all my blog hopping {read time wasting, laundry avoiding} lots of fantastic women have amazing ideas. Resolutions for themselves, for their families. I am stealing, borrowing, or possibly even taking advice from them. This year instead of beating myself up for what I am not doing or could be doing better I am implementing this idea my WORD OF THE YEAR.
This will work for me. This is a starting place every day. Each day is a new beginning! I may even make some cute craft so I see my word and remind myself to live it every day.
For 2010 I picked INTENTION.
Encarta dictionary has this to say -
intention - quality of purposefulness: the quality or state of having a purpose in mind
aim or objective: something that somebody plans to do
Why intention? Because frequently I find myself wondering why I have no time (um, because I wasted it online?), trying to figure out how to get everything done in the few hours left and still sleep. If I truly apply this then everything I choose to do should have a purpose in mind.....
what would your word be?
right now my intention is to get off the computer and onto the eliptical!!!
