2009- My word for the year

Okay, I'm totally copying this idea from other blogs I've seen. You choose a word that you hope will define your year and help you to stay focused. After some serious thought I've chosen the word...BELIEVE. Why you ask- well there are several reasons:

I believe in myself and that I can accomplish the one goal that I hope to reach before I turn 40 in October- and yes of course it is weight related

I believe that focusing on what could happen instead of what is happening at the moment is a waste of time

I believe that I do not have control over everything and that is okay

I believe that I will be challenged by the adversary more and more as I chose to make Christ the center of my life and that it will be okay

I believe I need to and will start celebrating life more

I believe in trying new things and will actually do it:)

Finally, I believe in gratitude because I've seen that whenever I take the time to give thanks for my many blessings in life my outlook on everything changes!!

So, for the three people who read this blog- what's your word?
