2011 “One Little Word”

I have been thinking for a few weeks now about what word I would like to use to live my year by.  I kept on coming up with two words: Happy & Home and really could not make up my mind which one I would like to use.  They are both equally important to me and so I have decided to use both and make my “mantra” for this year “HAPPY HOME”. 
Why these words?  Well lets see…

HOME:  I want to revamp our “HOME” which is our safe haven and give us all a place where we will be happy, flourish, and above feel loved and safe. 

HAPPY:  I want to recapture our “Happiness”.  Really this is something that in the last year I think I have lost a little of.  We can become so overwhelmed and stressed out over our day to day, and many times can only focus on the negative and not see all of the HAPPY things that surrounds us. 

I want to stop and enjoy every little “happy” moment and ensure that my children see me smile and laugh more.  Above all I want to learn how to be happy again and stop feeling guilty.  Guilty is such a horrible feeling!  It can completely consume you and literally paralyze us from living our lives.

On another note, I am almost done with my list of goals that I would like to accomplish and will post them soon.

“Happy Home” to all of you!
