Word of the year goes to....

I was thinking about resolutions for some time before ringing in the new year. First I thought, "Why bother? I never remember to keep one anyways."

Then I came up with a brilliant plan. "If I make a good dozen or so, maybe I'll actually keep one and feel like I accomplished something!"

Truthfully, I wanted to not only have some form of resolution but feel good working toward it. Instead of having a specific goal that seems so rigid for an entire year, I decided on having a New Year's Word.

I tossed several words around. Peace is always a good one. I want it in my life. I want it for the world. The world needs a lot more than me and my resolute year to reach it.

What about Happiness? Who doesn't want to be happy? Happy is good. No. That makes me feel like I am setting myself up to walk around with a false and cheesy smile all year.

Last year was a doozy for most people. Financially, physically, emotionally. There was much loss, many trying times. It was HARD. There were also many, many good times, beautiful memories created and up moments but I was definitely ready to bid 2009 good-bye.

As far as the new year? I have a really good feeling about 2010. It is going to be one heck of a good year! In honor of keeping that feeling alive, I have chosen Positivity as my word for the year in all of its glorious forms.
