One Little Word

I have decided to think, pick and do something with "One Little Word" for 2012.  This is something I have been doing for 3 years or so.  I didn't think I was going to really do it this year.  I just wasn't in that place, but I have taken the last three days and cocooned myself and taking care of me.  It has been wonderful.  I really have gotten stuff done around here, made a big dent toward starting 2012 off on a really good footing, sleeping and I mean really sleeping, eating whatever I want (and paying for the poor choices), thinking.  I have thought about what I want to change and improve and how I can accomplish those things.  My state of mind has to be the first thing and that is a really good place to start since I can actually do something about that.  Hence, One Little Word.  So I am thinking.......I have several in mind......
HOPE                 FAITH               ATTITIUDE.  
Those are a few.  I have not completely made up my mind.  I keep coming back to HOPE but am not 100% just yet but will be.  In my purging, I came across a Debbie Schuh titled "Just Be"  I can add my word throughout and it is set up perfectly for the amount of time and effort I want to give my word.  I am trying to be realstic about what it is going to work later in the year.  You know when the newness wears off.  I want to finish what I start (oh a goal for the new year)  so I am taking on things very carefully and not just jumping in.  Something else I can be in controll of.  I find another positive for me is to take control of what I can in my life and that will certainly help me deal with the "have tos" and "no choice in the matter" things.
I keep coming back to HOPE cause it seems open to so much more and can go through the year with me and through changes.  I will hope for better changes in my health and find what I can do to make that better and work on cooking more and exercising a bit. smalll steps but steps.
