hey guys!! i recieved an email from the superintendent of my school district that i thought i would share with you. it is a VERY good idea
"Instead of a New Year’s resolution, supposedly the new thing is to choose “one word that has the potential to inspire you and create intention in your life all year long.” (http://theletteredcottage.net/word-of-the-year/) Her word for the year is “up.” She went on to talk about why she has chosen the word “up” to inspire her this year. One of her reasons was “because it symbolizes a positive direction and will serve as a powerful reminder to be excited about, and up for trying things I’ve never tried before.”
After pondering for a while, i have decided my word..... DO!!! i thought about try then thought "haven't i always tried??" then i thought will... that usually turns into "i will get around to this tomorrow" so if i DO something, then i have succeeded!!!
i encourage you to think of one word that will be your inspiration
we can DO this
