One Little Word

Instead of making resolutions that get broken by the end of the month (or sooner) I've decided to use Ali Edwards' "One Little Word" concept for this year. By using one little word for all of my goals, it should help to make them clearer and more achievable. So this year my word is F O C U S.

fo-cus: noun

1) The center of interest or activity; an act of concentrating interest or activity on something.

2) The state or quality of having or producing clear visual definition.

These are some examples of how I want to use my word:

* Focus on making healthier choices for my body.
* Focus on making individual time for my boys.
* Focus on my creativity - scrapbooking, photography, etc.
* Focus on collecting and documenting family memories.
* Focus on my relationship with my husband.
* Focus on acquiring the new property.
* Focus on improving our finances.
* Focus on making our home run smoothly.

I guess with all of those topics, it might look like I won't be able to FOCUS at all. I do think just having one word to refer back to WILL help to remind me of what my goals are. And sharing them with you all can't hurt either!

Blessings in this New Year to YOU!
