It did not take too long to find a word that I would like to live by in 2011.
I chose Strive as I have so much that I need to work on this year.
I must Strive to be a better companion to my husband. When ever things gets rough my relationship with him gets put last, and that is not fair. With him by my side I can do anything, and it is so comforting to know that I am not going through things alone.
I must Strive to get to know my children better now that they are adults. The have their own feelings, opinions, goals and fears. I must look at them with new eyes and see the wonderful adults they have become.
I must Strive to make my home a sanctuary for the 4 adults who live in it. This is our safe place and our haven and it should reflect that.
I must Strive to find some me time, and to know that I cannot achieve all I want to do without thinking about myself. It is not selfish to want some alone time to plan, organise, and rest so that I can run the house and take care of what needs to be done.
I must Strive to get our finances back on track so that we have a buffer Then if there is a situation we are more able to cope financially with out adding stress.
and i would love to be able to say no if what I am being asked does not suit me.
I thank you for you support and friendship and wish you all well in whatever you are Striving to do in 2011,
