I love the feeling of a new year. It's one of hope and ambition, a sense of renewal, and the chance to start fresh. It's a gift we are given each year, a cleansing for our souls if you will. How we choose to use this gift is up to us.
Most of us make resolutions and start holding ourselves to a higher standard right off the bat. Sure, we need goals to move forward, but sometimes we become so focused on those goals that we miss out on the little things. This year, instead of making a resolution, I'm choosing a word to define my goals for the year. I want to live each day to the fullest. I'm going to find the peace in the chaos. I'm going to savor every minute, for time is also a gift. If I accomplish some goals along the way, then all the better.

Now that my Christmas decorations are safely tucked away and the house is back to normal, I am full of exhilaration and anticipation. I don't know what the new year has in store, but I do know I'm ready. Life will always throw us curves. It's how we deal with those curves that matters. For me, this year will be about going with the ebb and flow, taking the good with the not-so-good, and finding balance. Through balance we can achieve inner peace, and through peace we can truly enjoy the gifts of life.
Happy New Year, I hope you enjoy every minute. Oh, and thank you to my very dear friend for sharing about the word of the year. Have you guessed mine yet?

Mine is "create" although I can't wait to see how my word morphs over the year. Last year it started as "simplify" but I realized that it wasn't that I needed to simplify but rather to "reevaluate".
Ooooooh!!!!! I'm going to share "balance" as my sub-word, if you will!!!! Because finding balance will lead to a life of increased simplicity....God-willing....
Here's to the new bible study, an amazing upcoming "Aquarius plus one" beach weekend, and the "rip it sisters!" So glad 2010 will be filled with moments spent with you. :-)
