We spent New Years Eve with some good friends. It was a lot of fun. As usual the changing of one year to another leads one to think of all that has happened in the past year, what was accomplished, what you did not get done, again. Still need to loose those same pounds I resolve to loose every New Years.
Gwen mentioned one of her friends chooses a word for the new year, instead of making resolutions that are always soon broken or forgotten. I have been thinking about that and I like the idea. I did not have a word ready, although one immediatly leapt to mind. After thinking about it for a couple of days and mulling over a number of words, it is still that one word that keeps rising to the surface. Renewal. A time of renewal. I think I could look forward to a year that was to be a time of renewal. There is something hopeful and fresh about the word renewal. It does not throw away everything and start over, it takes what is and refreshes, sweetens, and adds to, to make better what you already have. I like the thought of that. I have a good life, I am a good person. There are areas I need to improve, and so I will follow my first instict and adopt RENEWAL as my word for the year of 2011. I will also make no resolutions this year. I will just work on finding ways to refresh, sweeten, and add to my already very good life.
