My word for 2011

I have finally decided on my word to live by in 2011.

My word is REVIVE !


This took quite a bit of thought. Last year was the first year I tried this, rather than a resolution. Or what I did in 2008/9 was a bucket list. I very much enjoyed completing my bucket list. I do not know what to put on another one. So I will try to use my word for 2011 to make this an awesome year.

I have included 3 forms of the word as they all have some meaning to complete the theme, These words will not only apply to me, my home, my life. But how I look at every thing to come this next year. I will see new possibility in every thing.
Transforming all to a more positive outlook.

Merry Christmas to all!

It has been such a blessing to get to know you.
I have made a number of friendships here on this blog.
Every comment you leave is very heart felt. It brightens my day. And I am so sorry I have not been around much this year. But I plan to try harder next year.

I so wish for you all a day full of family love and friendship for this holiday session. And a joy filled new year.

Will the silence be broken ?

That is the question I ponder at this time.
This was to be the year of bliss.
But my word to live by this year turned into silence.

Bliss definition
1. can be a state of profound satisfaction
2.a constant state of mind, undisturbed by gain or loss.
3. happiness and joy

I would have to say yes to #1. I have never experiences anything like this before.
I would say in silence I did achieve #2. as it was no ups or downs. no drama. What ever happened , happened. With out my input.
So silence can be bliss.

I would have to say no to #3 there is peace in silence. But happiness and joy no.

In some ways silence is just letting the days go by with out living them.
And for this reason I will search for a new word for next year.
