This Just In

Interestingly, I see on different blogs that I read that some bloggers have a ‘word for the year’ that sums up everything they want to do or focus on.

After giving it some thought, I decided to post my word for the year, and that word is ‘try’.  I realize the almighty Yoda says “There is no try”…but that simply isn’t true.

More of a concept than just a word, it encompasses much.  I like change less than the Amish (any one who knows me well will tell you this) and I don’t always react well or with grace when faced with it.

So in light of this long standing personality trait, I am going to challenge myself and try…

to be more patient with people in general

to be more available to my parents, siblings and extended family

to get together more often with my Spice Drop Girls (I love you Tammy and Twy!)

to make time for organization, blogging, letter writing and other small things that make me feel good inside but get put on the back burner

to keep my blood test numbers at a healthy level consistently

to walk more

to craft more often

to eat new foods (I am not adventurous eater, so I’m not sure about this one)

to make people feel special with unexpected acts of kindness

to take a picture every day so I can do a project 365

Here’s to the new year and seeing what all I can ‘try’ to do and succeed.

What is your ‘word for the year’?
