So it's that time of year where I'm going to pick my Word of the Year! Funny thing is, the past few years I've struggled with my word because nothing jumped out at me. This year - the word came to me long before 2011 ended. My word is DREAM. I plan to dream of a better future for my family and friends. I am hoping if I spend 2012 dreaming of all that 'could be' - I will spend 2013 making it all happen. It may seem lazy to just "dream" but I think I have spent most of my adult life - just living in the moment. Thinking that whatever was happening was the way it had to be. I've never had big dreams for myself. I've always been pretty happy with being average. I was an average student, an average cheerleader, an average wife and mother.....I want to dream of more than that and find a way to make it happen. I want to dream of all the great things my two children can and will accomplish in life. They are reason I realized dreams are even possible. Who, in a million years, would have dreamed I would have a smart, athletic and amazing child like Ashton? Certainly not me, but now I want to dream of all that her future can hold.
I want to dream of a day that brings my family financial stability. I want to dream of a new home with space for everyone to be together or find a quiet place to be alone. I want to dream of reaching my weigh loss goal and being a healthier version of me. I am not sure any of those dreams can become a reality in 2012 (except hopefully the last one) but if I can make those dreams vivid enough - maybe 2013 will see them become a Reality!!
