When I read this cartoon, it put a smile on my face. I am not one to make New Year's resolutions...why? because I learned a long time ago that they just set me up for failure. I learned in life there are some things I can control, and others I can't...and those others on occassion tended to come sweeping in and cause my resolutions to go right out the door!
I tried something new last New Year. I decided to pick ONE SINGLE WORD to focus on for the upcoming year. Something that would effect my life as well as my family's in a positive way. The word I chose was SIMPLIFY. And, I am proud to say I feel like we accomplished that in many ways.
So this year, I will be choosing a new word to focus on...just one word. I have a few rolling around in my head and plan to pick one by tomorrow so that I can begin focusing on it Sunday. I'll let you all know what I chose next week.
In the meantime...I pray everyone has a Blessed and Safe New Year's Eve!! I have so enjoyed getting to know each of you this past year and look forward to seeing what you all have up your sleeves for 2012!!!
Love that cartoon and your thought process! I completely agree with you. One word instead of a long list is enough! I wish you the greatest 2012 and Happy New Year!
