Since we were having so much fun in California for New Years, I really didn't have time to stop and think about resolutions, goals, etc. (I really don't like New Years resolutions anyways) But the past few days I have been seeing a lot of posts about choosing a word of the year and I like this idea. So my word of the year is:
BALANCE
This is something I feel I need to try to achieve in my life. Last year I felt that as a family and each as individuals we had too much going on. There were times when I knew that I was trying to do too much and I don't really like the person I become at those times. So this year is going to be about BALANCE. I know that we will have to make some tough decisions this next year to accomplish BALANCE in our lives and I'm sure that some people will be upset when we say 'no', but I believe the end result will be worth it.
I think a big part of acheiving BALANCE in our lives has to come from looking at yourself in a different way. I know that I cannot give 100% to my job, 100% to my family, 100% to Relief Society, Girl Scouts, etc., etc. 100% of the time (although I have tried for many years) I know that in order to acheive the BALANCE I want I need to realize that I can give 100% to my job when I'm at work and 100% to my family when I'm with them and everything else will have to take what they get.
So what do you do to acheive BALANCE in your lives? and what would your word of the year be?

What a great word for the year....let me know when you figure out how to make it work. You are one of the busiest people I know, but I don't see that anything ever really gets neglected, well, maybe sleep? I think NO is one of the hardest words to learn to use. Good Luck!
The comment above was me, not Lisa?
