My Word For The Year
So on New Years Eve I was at a family gathering and my aunt piped up "Last night your Mom & I choose our words for the year!". I knew my mom had chosen last years word to be 'peace' and she maintained that focus in everything she experienced. We never really talked about it...it was just something she quietly focused on.
I am a mom to a 5 year old boy, wife to a great guy and work 32 hrs a week as an esthetician. My nature is to care for people with such detail that I often loose myself in the rush to be 'super woman'. I take great pride in my giving energy at work, in my ability to cook a great meal, to volunteer at school, to start a book club....but I am curious to see what would happen if I quietly changed my perspective.
I chose my 'word' fairly quickly on New Years. I wanted it to be a good one, but not cliche. I wanted it to seriously matter to me. I wanted it to be challenging to me. I wanted to learn from it. So my word for 2008 is 'honesty'. Not how I realate to others%2
