New Years: Resolutions Too?


Now that it is officially 2011...and yes, it's usually the time for some self searching and determining a new resolution.  I found that for 2010 I was able to stick to my resolution because of something I heard off of the radio.   While living in VA, I would listen to KLOVE on my way to work and right around New Years for 2010, they announced that for 2010 they were going to pick a "word" that would help them stay focused and centered.  I loved the idea of picking a "word" to aspire to for my new year.  The word that I chose for 2010 was WORTHY.  I felt that I have stayed true to this...I worked toward being a worthy friend, worthy daughter, worthy of my job, worthy of my apartment, worthy of God's love, etc.  I know it seems too general to count as a resolution, but it really helped me feel like I had accomplished something in 2010.  I feel like 2010 showed real growth and promise. 

My word for 2011 is TREASURE with a specific emphasis on treasuring every moment.  I want to wish all of my family and friends and reader alike a beautiful, healthy and happy New Year.  May 2011 reveal its special treasure for you each gem at a time.
