my "one word"


This morning I woke with a cough/cold/headache so just lounging on sofanwatching rose bowl and some morning talk show excerpt.  They interviewed author of "just one word".  He said people rarely keep list of new years resolutions.

His idea (abbreviated by me, as I understand it) is instead we should choose just one word that describes our needs, wants, goals (spiritually, emotionally and physically).

That concept seems very workable and realistic to me.  So, my word for 2014 is HEALTH....a word that encompasses so much.

Yeah, I'll take Health too Ignutah - good concept. I drove by a sign the other day that said not to have just one resolution for the whole year but to begin each day with a resolution, sorta made me think of us taking one day, one step, one moment, at a time.

So Health is good, um, but not today ha! I wanna enjoy my surf and turf without regret!

I'm taking 'happy' as well. It's been missing for awhile.

I'll take "Serenity" for 2014. 

I need health and other things. But, Serenity could make me happy with what I already have. I'll take Serenity.
