My Word For 2014

Have you ever thought of picking a Theme Word for the new year? 

A word you'd like to live by throughout that year. 

I have! 

I remember giving my son "Find a Date in 2008!" ;) 

But this year I don't have a catchy slogan, 

just 1 word: 

 

Hope has always been one of my favorite words! 

When I was pregnant with Twin girls 16 years ago
who were due in mid October

I wrote in my Journal that if they were due closer to Christmas

I would name them Hope & Holly!

When 2013 ended with me loosing my job & my families Health Insurance

as a tried & true Worrier 

my first instinct is to crawl into bed & cry! 

And just stay there!

But you always have a Choice!

You can look at all the negative & dwell on that

or you can try to see the positive in things! 

I always try to be positive, but sometimes it's much harder than it seems. 

I've always said: When life hands you Lemons, 

throw them at someone!" :) 

Just kidding!

but the point is you can always find something positive in every situation! 

So, going in to 2014

I'm choosing to have Hope!

Hope that I'll find a better job for me soon! 

Hope that my family will be Healthy & Happy!

Hope!

I love the above picture, 

I put it as my Twitter Cover Photo at the beginning of the year! 

This year, I'm choosing to live on Hope Street! :) 

Because when you have Hope you have everything!

So what do you need in your life this year? 

What would your word for 2014 be?
