A word for 2015

 

Last year I picked Focus....

 

I think I learned to remind myself to focus. To start exploring who I am, what I want, and where I want to be in order to focus.  I stopped with some of the fluff, added some other fluff, but thought things through more. 

 

It wasn't easy.  Digging deeper into yourself can open doors but open old wounds as well.  It was a year of ripping off the band aid in many ways.  One way I got through it was journaling.  I tried counseling, but journaling for me was a safer way of dealing with my stuff without having to share my stuff with others.  That will be a lesson to be learned at another time.

 

When thinking about this year's word, I contemplated:

Boundaries

Contentment

Overcome

 

But my word for this year will be Acceptance. 

 

Accepting who I am and what I am.  Knowing my place, loving my place, reflecting myself in my place. Regardless of where that place is.  Circumstances change, but who we are does not.  Accepting leads to contentment, knowing and enforcing boundaries, and being an overcomer.   Acceptance is the next step in my journey.

Happy New Year !!
