As 2010 draws to a close, I find myself thinking about words, specifically the
power of words and how they shape us. I have chosen several words to
help guide my thinking in 2011. Here are my words so far:
- beauty
- simplicity
- authenticity
- joy
What are your words, and how do they impact your life?
I am thinking my words for 2011 after having been house building for almost 2 years now is - Kindness and Patience. We have already been learning those lessons this year, and I am looking forward to slowing down enough to really 'feel' like I'm not only practicing those words, but truly living them.
ReplyDeleteI also love your word "Authenticity", as I think it is so essential to find one's true self, amidst all of the chaos and pretense in the world. We each have our own light, and our own way of using it, and I think it's essential that we take the time to surround ourselves with others who see that light for what it is, one's true inner beauty. No pretending, just getting to 'be' and being accepted for it.
Happy New Year!
P.S. - You gotta love those 1:03 AM Deep Thoughts from Kelley. ;-) I think you do some of your best thinking at the wee hours of the morning! I too was awake at that time last night, but not by choice. So, I am hoping that both 'Kindness' and 'Patience' can find their way out of me today. ;-)
