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 !!

Daybook....

Good Morning, I am linking up with  The Simple Woman's Blog  for the weekly Daybook For today... February 9, 2015 Outside my window .... Chilly (in the 30's for a high) but no snow.  Most of the snow has melted from the warm temps this weekend. I am thinking ... that I had a great, great weekend with my family. I am thankful. .. that my children view each other as important.  We had to plan Lucy's birthday celebration around Katie's work hours because she just started her new job and can't request time off.  Lucy would have never considered celebrating her birthday without her big sis present. I am wearing. .. my sparkly sweater again.  I must need the sparkles to handle a Monday morning. I am creating ... nothing at the moment, but do have some unfinished projects.  My mind has been exhausted lately and I am just chilling and puttering around. I am praying ... for a family decision that could make a huge difference in our live...

It's OK

Time for some grumbling, snarkiness, and maybe a little bad attitude... So who came up with flowered scented dish soap?  Someone who drinks perfume?  This is just so gross. Really. Why must the good foods be fattening?  Why is Coca Cola bad for your weight, health, teeth,etc. but so good for your mood?  I would say that it is just me but the fact it is a billion dollar industry would contradict that, just sayin. Why did God not give me the love of cooking to match my love of eating home cooked foods?   Where do all my socks go? Really, my house is not that big. Is it really necessary to get hot sweats at night?  Wouldn't society be better if the menopausal women at least were well rested?  I think I need a snickers, I am definitely in Diva mode today!!

Your Favorite Christmas Tradition

  We have developed many traditions for our family over the years.  We always open one present on Christmas Eve, we have Grinch Punch on Christmas Eve, we lay out cookies and a beer for Santa (this has been since my childhood), sprinkle oatmeal in the yard for the reindeer, have sparkling grape juice and chocolate eclairs on Christmas morning, and we go see a movie as a family on Christmas afternoon at the movie theater.   Leading up to Christmas we have chocolate advent calendars, have fun with R.J. our Elf on the Shelf, go to the surrounding towns that have light displays on a  snowy evening, attend  the Santa breakfast in town, and enjoy the school's Christmas program.   We have many family dinners and get togethers to attend to wish everyone a wonderful holiday and spend quality time with the ones we love.    My favorite tradition?  Probably leaving cookies and beer for Santa.  I don't know how it started but...
