Instead, I am choosing to this whole resolution thing differently. I am choosing just one word. This will be the word of the year for me. A word to help me remember who I am and what I am about. A word that will remind me of who I want to be as a whole being in this world. I am not going to choose it today, you know since it IS New Year's Eve and all. Nope, I'm going to sit on this for a week or two. Then I'll let everyone know what I choose as soon as I try out a few words on my list. Ya know, I'm not gonna commit to a word and then see that it doesn't fit just right. I'm gonna try it on for size (and hopefully it will fit better than those jeans I'm gonna have to return today) be sure it's the right word. I have a few words swimming around in my head. These words describe the person I want to be. I can not choose them all at one time, so I am going to simply choose one. What I think will happen is that I will choose the one word from my list and as I work practice each day to remember that word and to "live" that word, the rest of those descriptive words that describe who I want to be in this life, will start to come out to play and it will just be something that will unfold itself.
Yes, I am declaring. . . . . 2011 is going to be an amazing year. This year is going to be different for me. It is going to be a year of expectation, adventure, new beginnings, new friendships, realizations, opportunity, pure happiness, travel, contentment. Yep, my friend 2011 is going to be for me, a year of just plain wonderfulness.
So I will leave you with just one picture today. . . . I loved taking this shot. I did photo shop it just a little, and it's not perfect, (however I may go back in and work on that). I'm still learning this photo shop thing. And I am still in love with this photo! This is from our vacation to Southern California this past May. Probably one of my favorite vacations ever. My favorite I think mostly, just because of the adventure of it.
Have a safe and Happy New Year!!!

I'm resolving to do nothing, just like I did last year, and I totally met my goal. But in year's past, I have gone with the word of the year. Two years ago I assigned myself the word MOVE, and it was a great word for everything that came about that year because I wanted to make so many changes. Of course, that word keeps hanging on to me years later, as MOVE has been pretty much what I'm all about. But it works for me. :-)
Happy New Year!
here is to hoping that rollercoaster does not represent the year...smiles. happy new year...
Love your idea of having a word as your resolution. I might have to give that idea some serious thought!
I, also, intend to have a great 2011. Hope yours is wonderful!
