One Little Word 2012 - Embrace

It took me longer than usual to select my one little word for 2012. The end of the year was filled with celebrations and tragedies and I couldn't decide what word should be my driving force for the year.

Finally yesterday it came to me - EMBRACE.
Embrace faith and growth in community.
Embrace my husband - hug him daily, grow together.
Embrace changes at work.
Embrace where I am in life.
Embrace relationships - grow in friendships and be with family more often.
Embrace who I am and maybe even discover who that truly is.
Embrace what life brings and stop resisting changes and new paths.

I have grown so accustomed to being anxious and dreading the worst instead of hoping for the best. My desire for 2012 is to leave some of that worry behind and dwell on the moment, embracing whatever comes my way.

What's your word this year?

my word this year is gumption. i want the spirit and verve to take on this year with positivity and fire.

love the embrace too Kathleen. It really all comes down to the same things doesn't it. The ability to live life in the moment and give up the need to worry so much.
