january is good for introspection.
it has long been my mantra to Live Deliberately, and this requires checking in on myself every now and again. assessing. refining. nudging my hindquarters back on course when i've veered off into Aimless Wanderings.
it's a time to begin again, but not from scratch. hopefully i build on the januaries prior and arrive at something a bit taller or sturdier or more daring.
i can't really know what this year has in store, but with the adoption process looming large before us, i imagine it will require much in the way of trust and fortitude. and hope. plus a whole lot of steady trudging, of putting one weary foot in front of the other until we arrive at something that feels like home.
so what looms before you this year? what New and Grand Things have you resolved to do or be or learn?
because you love me so, please share with me one of your 2010 resolutions (six words or less if you can swing it). and because i adore you so, in a few days, say monday? midnight? i'll draw a name at random from the comments and stamp your new mantra (or whatever else you choose) on a custom piece (keychain, necklace, you decide) like so:
stack your odds of winning:
-if you follow this blog (yonder right), i automatically throw your name into all giveaways. same with fans of sweetTea on facebook.
-as usual, tweet, fb, or blog this giveaway with a link and i'll give you an extra entry per each. just be sure to let me know as i am only sporadically omniscient.
bonne chance, and happiest of thursdays to you.

To inspire me to live in the moment, my 2010 mantra is "this is not a dress rehersal"
To be more present in all I do.
teach and be teachable
live each moment.
To be purposeful in my home.
Nourish and Nurture
Be content.
Cherish Every Moment
(I read this as I was following a carepage of a young man (2.5 year old named Dax Locke) who recently lost his battle with cancer. His mom would end every blog with "Cherish Every Moment" It speaks volumes.

Feel deeply, live accordingly
glory in being

Simplify...simplify...simplify!
"Will this matter 100 years from now?" You could even say 1 year, 10years or whatever and the thing that is bugging you so badly suddenly loses its importance. This helps me to put things in perspective. I really enjoyed reading everyone else's comments. Lots of sage advice in them. :)
Being more PRO-active instead of reactive! :)
Learn to live in imperfection
Cook more and spend less
trust God's plan
To grow and break out of my box.
Seek Him First.
