Words for 2013

I'm not a New Year's resolutions kind of girl. I always make a list of goals I'd like to accomplish. I never complete every item on my list. In the end, my goals are a reminder of what I'd like to do not what I have to do. If I'm lucky, there's always next year. If not, I'll have died trying.. living life to the fullest.. surrounded by those I love..

This year, instead of a long list, I'm choosing to focus on three words.

•Positivity
I've always been a positive person. I tend to see the glass as half full, not half empty. In 2013, I
refuse to let the negativity of others bring me down. I am choosing to focus on the good.

"Our attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards us." -- John N. Mitchell

•Spontaneity
No lists. No clocks. No calendars. Run out the door and do something fun.. just for the hell of it.

"It was tragic how life had sucked her down to the bones, all her spontaneity, her laughter and freedom
had vanished. I knew then that I didn't ever want to be like that. Whatever happened, life was
something too precious to give up on so easily." -- Belinda Jeffrey, One Long Thread

•Determination
There are a lot of things I want out of this life. Sitting here thinking about them won't do me any good.
If I want something done, I've got to do it myself, and do it now.

"Let us not be content to wait and see what will happen, but give us the
determination to make the right things happen." -- Horace Mann
