Word for the YEAR

I used to be a BIG resolution maker..

But.... let's face it.. those last about as long as January (if that long)

and we quickly seem to drift back to the way things WERE.

So..... this year I have decided that I was not going to make any more resolutions.

After all... Change is something that comes from deep within..

AND , it is always a process that takes way longer

than any of us would like it to..

Therefore... I have decided (like many people in blog world )

to dedicate my 2010 to a single word.

My word for this year is DISCOVER !!!

space

I hope in 2010 to learn to discover

more of who I am.

Discover more of the things that I LOVE to do,

and try those in which I used to think I'm not very good at.

I have vowed that each month I will discover 1 new person to be a friend to.

As my precious friend Sherry once told me

"Sometimes you have to go WAY outside of your comfort zone to find the greatest treasures."

She has lived all over the world and some of the people she has learned from and cherished

the most are those that she would have NORMALLY never befriended.

I want to discover new places to eat (ones that I would never try before)

Discover new stores to dig through.

I want to discover new things to do with my children.

Discover and Visit a place I would normally NEVER go.

I want to try on and wear something I would never have worn last year.

I want to DISCOVER a way to use my creative heart.

I want to discover a place to volunteer and make a difference.

and most of all.....

at the end of 2010

I want to DISCOVER that I am not sitting here

exactly the SAME person as I am today.

I am a firm believer that LIFE is ever changing....

and if we are growing then each new year,

though filled with many ups and downs

could be the BEST one of our lives.

May your 2010 be filled with many magical moments.

AND may you DISCOVER the blessings that each day holds!
