The year 2010 is here already!
Wow! Last year went by so quickly…
there were so many happy memories that my family made…
I can’t believe it is over already.
I was going to do a year in review post,
but I couldn’t decide which pictures to use.
Too many good ones:-)
Well, with every new year comes new resolutions.
(Or in my case…the same resolutions that I failed at last year.)
My 10 for ’10 are…
1. Daily time in God’s Word
2. Exercise more and lose 10 lbs.
3. More 1 on 1 with my kids
4. Better control with my temper & bad moods
5. Have a better financial plan
6. Try not to stress out so much
7. Scrapbook way more
8. Regular dates with the hubby
9. Organize and clean
10. Do more fun projects from my in box
So, I have been seeing this on quite a few posts…
the one word for the year.
In fact, I think most probably stemmed from Ali Edwards,
or at least that is the main one where I found it:-)
I have been mulling this over for the last few days,
just trying to find that one word that I want to encompass my entire year 2010…
and today it finally jumped out at me.
***PAUSE***
Dictionary.com describes this word like this.
Noun – a temporary stop or rest, in speech or action
Verb – to dwell or linger; to make brief stop; wait; hesitate
I want to remember to…
Pause and listen for God to speak to me.
Pause before reacting.
Pause for my hubby and kids.
Pause for myself and others.
Pause before eating and spending.
Pause and do the projects I already started.
Pause long enough to remember the moment.
Hopefully with this word at the forefront of my mind,
it will help me avoid impulsive and wrong decisions.
I can see how hitting the pause button will help me with my resolutions.
What word would you use for your year???
The hubs work had a Christmas bowling party for the family today. My word for the year even applies to me taking pictures. Pause and get in the shots. Pause so there is no blur:-)

Ok, I have to update you on the whole sugar thing. It was going good. I made it through 4 days…and even lost 3 lbs. But then we had our Christmas with the Brubakers and New Years celebration. And this delicious looking chocolate chip cherry cheesecake was there taunting me. The hubs and I just love making cheesecake so much, so we had to take one with us for the party. I am sorry to report that I gave in to the temptation:-) But I am getting back on the band wagon again. Now that I know it really does work, I am hitting it hardcore. It will be much easier once we have our regular routine going again.
(of course that means school and the kids won’t be too happy about that)

MissJody says
Hang in there girl! You can do it!
Your doing good…
It is very HARD to go over to others homes for “get-togethers” when alot of delish junk food is served.
Nicole says
I love chesecake!!! That looks sinful and so very yummy!
LeAnna says
Great list, great word for the year and holy moly, what a great looking cheesecake. DROOL.
Alicia says
I love the pause idea……..it really goes with my resolutions also. Thanks for the idea!!! I know I have at least 10 resolutions and since I have not wrote them down I may have to steal that idea! Hope you and your family had a wonderful holiday season!!!

I love that I’m not the only one that tries to choose one word for the year.

I too love the PAUSE idea. Great job incoming up with a plan. I decided as my New Year resolution to not come up with a plan. If I did, I probably wouldn’t do it. I’m more spontanous that way. I know my main focus too, is to put Christ in the Center of every decision that I make. I kind of have a what ever happens in 2010 happens attitude, and it’s been really relaxing actually. :0)
