I read a lot of blogs and over the past week I've been coming across a few where instead of making resolutions for the new year, they are choosing a word that represents how they will want to live for the next year. Brandee at One Crazy Kid chose Believe. Amber Strocel is still in search of hers.
While I did make a resolution, I love the idea of having a word.
I didn't even have to think about it...my word for 2012 is Try.
When I think I can't, I will Try.
When I know I can, I will Try anyway.
When someone tells me I'm unable, I will Try.
When the voice in my head says there is no way you will succeed, I will Try.
When I feel I may be embarrassed, I'll accept that this may be a possiblity and then I'll Try.
When a friend feels like they can't do it, I will hold their hand and Try with them.
And if ever I try and I don't succeed, I will try again because there is no failure in trying.
When you try you are always one step ahead of where you were only moments before.
Do you have a word for the new year?
