Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Word for the Year?

January 1, 2019

It’s that time of year again – resolutions, goals, and words for the year. Ugh. My word for last year should have been, “seriously?”. I have even thought that maybe our luck has been crappy because I never say goodbye to the old year or greet the new one at midnight on New Year’s Eve. Nah – that’s superstitious – or is it? I don’t exactly have a gratitude attitude lately. I try, but when you get bombarded with mess after mess you tend to focus only on the negative. So, should I even pick a word for the year? Maybe. I was thinking “fruitful” which means productive. Or “faithful”? Mother Teresa always said that God doesn’t call us to be successful but faithful. “Hands” by Jewel talks about worrying being wasteful and useless when things are going bad, so maybe I should focus on worrying less. Well, that’s a no brainer. :-)

So, we’ll see. For January, as I said yesterday, the word is “hibernate” – time for taking care of me and my home – and no decision making, just pondering. So, I’ll think about a word for the year, but maybe I’ll keep it to myself if I do. Sometimes, when only you know something like that, it’s more helpful than telling the whole world.
