SIMPLIFY

Word of the Year.

While surfing some wonderful blogs I came across many ideas that I am gonna borrow. I will start with:

Word of the Year.

One word, to help launch me into action, to BE better, to DO better, to accomplish things, to remember my strengths, to toss my weaknesses out of the way and never let them define "who I am"... all in a single word. I love this concept.

Though normal people would do this at the beginning of the year for let's say....New Years...I'm just gonna jump in right where I am at. I'm not gonna wait till next year to roll around, no sir.

Geez, one word? I have so many...... but focus on one I must.

Well my first WOTY is easy to choose. I have been trying unsuccessfully to de-clutter, de junk, just plain GET RID of stuff. Hard thing is, I like my stuff. Each thing I pick up I think, ooohh, I can re-use, re-purpose, re-gift, up-cycle etc etc. Memories attached to the physical things that if I get rid of, the memories will fade and be lost forever. But if a magic fairy came along and got rid of all my stuff and I just had the bare essentials, I would be ok. I just cant be there to say farewell.
Am I really the only one like this? Oh, well.
