2012 Word of the Year

COMMITMENT

Last year, my WORD OF THE YEAR (reference to the GOOD NEWS blog) was ENJOY. I did a pretty good job with that. When I chose it I didn't think there would be so many crazy things happening in the year!

This year, I chose the word COMMITMENT because there are a lot of smaller goals that I have that I would like to accomplish. Not to sound pessimistic, but I know that I am going to "fall off the wagon" at least once during the year. It often happens. But this year, instead of saying- "Oh I messed up that goal", I'm going to say "Sure, I messed it up today (or for this week) but I'm going to start new today and keep going." I'm going to stay COMMITTED to all of the smaller goals that I make.

Some of these goals are:

I want to read my scriptures more regularly and understand them better. I want to spend more time in earnest prayer with my Father in Heaven. I want to become a better wife. and a better mom. I want to live a healthier life. I want to be more satisfied with where I am in my life.

I can achieve these goals. I will make mistakes but I will start over and do better the next day. By the end of the year, I'll be happier for having stuck with these goals throughout the whole year and I will be proud of how far I've come instead of feeling guilty for the times I didn't do as well as I'd hoped.
