Words...

A lot of people choose to select a single 

Word,

instead of making New Year's resolutions.

I did that a couple years ago.

I chose FOCUS.

And, I did pretty well.

Last year, I didn't choose one.

I still did ok.

But, having that word did help, the year before.

So this year, I think I'll pick out a word again.

2-365

Maybe, my new dictionary will help.

Yes, I use a real, hold-in-your-hand dictionary.

And, I've been in dire need of a new one, for a while.

Santa was kind enough to tuck new one into my stocking.

I'm a bit loathe to get rid of the old one.

That's one of my big problems....

getting rid of things.

So, just maybe my WORD this year should be

SIMPLIFY.

There are lots of things around here that could be made more simple.

Plant more low maintenance plants in the garden.

Clear out things that are still good, but haven't been used/worn for years.

Organize, so I don't waste time searching for things.

DE-CLUTTER.

My new dictionary defines

SIMPLIFY

as 

MAKE EASY.

EASY sounds good to me.

Do you have a WORD?

What's the Word?....

Sweet gift from neighbors at our old place

I've been seeing around the internet the idea of NOT making those lists of  'New Year's Resolutions',

but, usuing one word...maybe two or three...to sum up those resolutions. 

One word that will make things happen.

It makes sense to me.  I can surely remember ONE WORD, more easily than a whole list.

So, my word of 2012 is

FOCUS.

I'm the kind of person who can easily get side tracked, no matter what I'm doing.

I have SO MANY projects around here that got started, but never finished.

Hey...just cleaning out a closet is sometimes hard for me to get all the way through.

I get sidetracked looking through old photos, or magazines, or....

you get the picture.

I almost made my word FINISH.

But, I've known me a long time.  I know if I'm going to FINISH something,

I'm going to have to

FOCUS.

I'm going to FOCUS, and get around to finishing the projects that are already started.

Like remodeling projects I started when we moved here,

THREE YEARS AGO!...

before I start something new.

I'm going to FOCUS on getting around to exercising more...

like walking in this great neighborhood of ours.

I'm going to FOCUS on getting around to...

well...looks like I have one of those lists, after all.

I'll just sum it up with saying..

I'm going to FOCUS on GETTING AROUND TO IT.

HEY!

I already have one of those!

Thanks, Rose.

So....what's the word?  What will you use to make your 2012 a good year?

FOCUS
