HAPPY NEW YEAR 1/1/11




Okay, I guess it's as good of time as any to get started again on this blog. I always have really good intentions on keeping it up, but even with good intentions, it doesn't always happen. I am hopeful that in this next year, I will do better at it and even expand it to other areas of I can pull it off.




After a great Christmastime, it is time to look forward to the new year. I have asked everyone in my family to come up with a single word to help "define" them this year and to reflect on throughout the year. Chris has chosen the word "TRAVEL" as he will be literally traveling to Paris, London and Edinburgh. I also think it works very well for him because he will travel many different paths and I can't wait to see what he does. Zach chose "WIN" and initially, it is to win in soccer after a rough fall season, but I also think it expands to winning/doing his best in everything he does. Still waiting on Todd and Nick, but hope they come up with one by the end of today. So, I had come up with several ideas for my word including: "moments" , "remember" etc... but in the middle of the night, a word came to me and I think this is the word that is meant to be: "EXPLORE". I think it can be used in many different ways including exploring new opportunities and places, being open to new ideas, reading new books and wanting to go in different directions or at least try them out. I look forward to expanding on this word through the year with family and friends and with myself.




I'm also looking very forward to working on "Project Life" again and Picture 365 where I will take a photo a day. Ideally, I would LOVE to post my photo here every day and start a Flickr site also so I can hold myself accountable to do this. I'm remaining uncommital at this time, but hope to try to do it. Haven't taken any photos today so can't post todays yet :)




I pray for good health and safety for our family members and for us. Yay, I am on the right start to posting daily or at least more often. Can't end without a favorite photo or two taken in the past couple of weeks.
