My 2012 WORD & GOAL

I've been thinking a lot about my word for 2012. You know, the one word that summarizes what I want to work on to better my life in the coming year.

This year my word is simplify.

sim·pli·fy

tr.v. sim·pli·fied, sim·pli·fy·ing, sim·pli·fies To make simple or simpler, as:

a. To reduce in complexity or extent.

b. To reduce to fundamental parts.

c. To make easier to understand.

Simplify summarizes what I hope to accomplish in my life perfectly! Let me be clear. I'm not striving for a simple life, there is nothing simple about me - just ask Mr. Scott! What I hope to accomplish is to reduce the extraneous things in my life so I can fully enjoy the things that matter to me most.

Here are my plans:

1. This year I will strive to simplify my life by cleaning the clutter from my home and my life in general. I really want to feel and be more organized! Not just in the calenders but in the closets too!

2. I will strive to list day by day what I hope to accomplish and revel in the satisfaction of crossing off those lines one. by. one. Again.. back to my beloved calender!

3. I will document my experiences and share my feelings here on my blog through words and (better) photos. I love blogging and I am not about to stop now. We are just getting started!

4. I will simplify my life by remembering that people are more important than things. That holidays aren't just about elaborate decorations and shopping lists but about spending quiet time with the people I love. This year it was less time in the kitchen and more time with friends and family.

5. I want to cook elegant simple delicious meals. Nothing too complicated. Easy and Good!

6. I want to take more long walks with Scott and capture the simple beauty in nature through the lens of my camera. We don't take enough walks together. Guess we both just need it to warm up a bit first!

7. I want to sip and savor this life to its fullest and share it with people and animals I love.

8. I want to simplify my life by unplugging more often from computers, blackberrys, ipads, televisions and radios. In this crazy busy world I want to find quiet moments to reflect. We do it sometimes already but not enough! We love the days when there are no phones or computers. The focus is merly on each other.. and thats great!
