2012, what’s your word?

I’ve been giving a lot of thought to 2012. I don’t set resolutions because what is the point? I ALWAYS break them. So instead, I am going to attempt to focus on a word each year. Something to set my sights on, something to wrap my brain around and something to meditate on.

This year, I chose…

“Turn your back on sin; do something good.
Embrace peace–don’t let it get away!”
Psalms 34:14 MSG

According to Webster’s, peace is…

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.

This last year has been rough, I am not going to lie. I have been putting on a happy face and smiling, all the while dying inside. Why? Mainly, my own stubbornness and failure to adapt to change and thrive.

At some point though, enough is enough.

The last few weeks, I have been consciously making different choices, appreciating what I have and smiling real smiles.

I plan to keep it up in 2012.

So, what’s your word?
