What's in A Word?

As 2011 was coming to a close I had been thinking about the new year and what I wanted to accomplish. I normally make resolutions and they normally last a few weeks or so and sizzle out. This year I had been thinking about choosing a word to focus on for the year. Then it seems everywhere I looked I saw other people doing this same thing. Because of the place I am in in life right now, I don't want to overwhelm myself with huge resolutions or goals. I am trying to keep things simple. I am trying to regain myself and focus on my little family. So, over and over in my mind the word "finish" comes to mind. My entire life I have started things, been excited about them, and somehow lost focus, been overwhelmed, side tracked, or something has come in the way of finishing things.  So, this year my word is "finish". It applies to every aspect of my life. Cleaning and putting away the laundry, cleaning my house, reading the scriptures, losing the weight, crafts and sewing projects, my education, and everything else I am so excited to start and somehow never finish.  So what's in a word? I think there is power. With everything I do I will have this little word swirling around me and motivating me.  I am not asking for perfection. I am not saying I won't stumble or even fall down. But, I can get up get moving and "finish".

One of my favorite blogs is doing a link party with words of the year. Check it out here.
