What a word! Just in a matter of a few minutes this word has changed my mood. It is my word for 2009. I think the last two years I've had focus as my word. I still need to focus, but I may be doing it too much.
The last year has been a rough one. My dad died at the beginning of January from lung cancer at age 69, I turned 40, my nearly 17 yr old dog died, our basement got water in it after a huge amount of rain, and my maternal grandmother died at age 88. I didn't think I would be someone who dwelled on milestone birthdays. Turning 40 was just going to be another birthday, no big deal. With all these devastating events though, it has been hard for me not to associate it with turning 40.
I'm looking forward to a new year. I intend to enjoy it. I'm going to enjoy being a wife, mother, aunt, daughter, child of God, and friend. I'm going to enjoy going to work, doing my work, going places with my family, going places with my friends, and being in good health. I have so much to be thankful for and so many blessings in my life. I know what they are, but now I want to enjoy them and I will.
Happy New Year!

You go Sister, and when you start to stumble, you know I'm here for you.
Love you a huge bunch,
I think ENJOY is a great word for the year. 2008 was a tough one to get through for a lot of different reasons for each of us. But ENJOY will put a new twist on 2009. But you know that we are here if you need a kick in the pants from time to time to remember your 'word'.
That is a FABULOUS freaking word!!! You go girl!
That is a great word, Karla, and I do really hope that the "enjoy" part comes easily without so many tough times like 2008.
