Each year I choose a word for the coming year...I've been mulling for a while now and my word came to me...ATTITUDE. I realized that I need a new attitude...I need to listen to the advice that I give others...I need to truly enjoy the moment...not waste time thinking of ways it could be or how I might think I'd like things to be...my new ATTITUDE...enjoy the moment!
I know I've said this before but I really, really am going to work on it...NO expectations of people...take things the way they come, and not react because things didn't happen the way I would have done them or the way I would have wanted them to...I always, always say "Things work out the way they are supposed to"...I'm really going to start believing that...my new ATTITUDE!
Enjoy what I'm doing! Not wasting time thinking what needs to be done next! No more thinking that I should be doing something else! Be in the moment! No expectations! Choose happy!
My new ATTITUDE! I am looking forward to this New Year and all that it has in store...
HAPPY 2014!
I'm with you, along with you I am going to set out to be happy and try not to let the negative grind me down.

ReplyDeleteI just got my first check in October and already got a cost of living raise. Who knew.
ReplyDeleteThat's a perfect word for 2014, Carol. I'll be cheering you on, my friend.

I've watched you and a few others in blog land choose a word for the year but I haven't joined in the past. Your word this year is a good one for most of us. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteGreat post...I've thought about reading that book...The Happiness Project...do you highly recommend it?
ReplyDeleteBest wishes for 2014!
Oh, I loved the Happiness Project. She spoke my language, and I loved how and why she set her goals, then decided if they were effective. I've modeled some of my goals from her example. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteYou have made some good points here. I think I need to read this book. Happy |New Year to you.
ReplyDeleteI love that - act the way you want to feel. Words to live by, for sure. Happy new year to you, Carol!
ReplyDeleteGreat post, Carol! Written for me, I'm sure. I hope you will occasionally remind us of your word, so I can remember what I need to be doing. : )
ReplyDeleteGreat post to start off the new year! Happy New Year to you and yours and I hope 2014 brings joy for you.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Carol!
