2013 Word of the Year~

Growing up, my mother always had little sayings that she would share with us.  Words for us to live by, if you will.  And as I grew, I did adopt many of them.  One of my favorite sayings that I learned from my mother is "Bloom Where You Are Planted".

2012 was a year with its own set of challenges.  I'll be honest, it was quite a difficult year for me.  But through the challenges, I was impressed with a very important fact.  Although we can't choose what happens to us, we are 100% in control of how we react to it.  Our circumstances are not always within our control, but our attitudes are. 

So this year, I have chosen the word BLOOM as my 2013 word of the year.

I have decided that this year I am going to choose to be positive.  I am going to choose to be happy.  I am going to proactive in creating an atmosphere of joy and contentment in my home.  I want my children to grow up being grateful for their blessings. 

This year I want to celebrate the many wonderful, small moments that happen on a daily basis.  I want to make myself continually aware of the beauties of my life.  This year I want to bloom.
