one word

last year my word for 2009 was:
cooperate

if was fitting for me...i think i said it at least 20 times a day to the girls...did it change who i was...no, did it make life a little easier...yes. have 2 year old twins, getting through each day we all needed to cooperate with each other...did we always do a good job at this, no. but i really enjoyed having a word for the year.

thinking about this year's word, i wanted it be a word that would help me change for the better. we all need to work on things...

'To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.'
~Kofi Annan


my word for 2010 is:
choice

it is very fitting for me as i look back on 2009 and think about my choices i have made in my life as a wife, mom, daughter, daughter-in-law, friend and small business owner...this one is still weird for me to say!

i want to make good choices this year for me and for my family.

my goals are very focused around making choices this year:
to be a better person in all areas of my life
to take better care of myself
to learn more about photography
to develop and grow two little tots

todd and i always sit down and discuss what our 'goals' are as a family and personal, we do this on new year's day...so my goals are coming soon! i have never been one to make a new years resolution, because i don't find that i stick to it...but i am really good with goals...i write them down, i come back to them, so they work for me.

here is to a new year and new choices!

ps: there are lots of wonderful women out there in the blog land that have one word for the year too...here are 2 of my favorite blogs that you can check out and if you have a word...please share it!
