i am "savoring" everything so far this year
~
after all
it is my word. and i really want to do it proud.
~
so i savor
the alone time i have now with my hubby. the sand. the sun. oh the sun. the strangers i meet. sophie and her new found playfulness. the yummy chicken salad sandwich i had for lunch yesterday. the extra sleep we've been getting. pine cones and squirrels. cottages that look like a box full of crayons. the anticipation for new found friends visiting me next week. the live~love~laugh vases i found in the dollar bin at target the other day. forcing myself to journal everyday so far this year in hopes that it becomes a habit and the fact that so many of you came to my blog and shared your word for 2011 with me. i loved starting the new year that way.
~
i could go on and on
~
i guess
what i've realized so far
is that when i consciously try to savor everything
it's really hard to be in a bad mood
or
have a bad day
~
who knew
~
granted. i have to be honest with myself since we're only on day 7 of the new year.
but so far so good. keep bringing it on 2011. so far i really like you.

ReplyDeleteI think my blog is my journal. As close as I'm gonna get, anyway. You are starting the new year off with rejuvination (sp?). Best way I know of :-)

7 days in is not bad. a whole week of the new year almost done. all you gotta do is savor 51 more. i think you can do it.

ReplyDeleteRight now I am trying to "embrace" a winter cold...Enforced down time is about all it has going for it...and maybe cough drops:)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to savor more of you savoring...close up even !

Savor is a perfect word for you, Beth - i think it's a positive word and fits you well.
ReplyDeleteIf only we all could savor more. Thats a nice goal to have, enjoy your savory 2011.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will.
Great word - and a great way to get going for the new year with the journaling. Keep it up! Wonderful photos in the last while, too.
ReplyDeletesavour - what a wonderful choice!
ReplyDeleteSavor is an excellent word...mine is "achieve"!
ReplyDeleteI hope we savor even the littlest of our achievements!?
I have tried on so many occasions to keep a journal. I start out strong but then fizzle. Me and journaling just don't mesh!! ha!

Simply divine, my friend. You can "hear" the "savor" in your voice. And who wouldn't -- it's wonderful!
ReplyDeleteBeen doing my own savoring these past few weeks.... it is a wonderful word for the year!
ReplyDeleteYou're doing pretty excellent so far...soaking up every ounce of goodness life is handing you.
ReplyDeleteCottages that look like a box of crayons? That sounds like the most perfect thing to photograph!!
