Inspired by
Lacy, this year I have also decided to pick a
word.
Out of all the words in the universe, it's hard to narrow one to strive for and focus on. I wanted something positive and upbeat, which ruled out my initial thoughts of determined and focused. I've been listening to the Soup Dragons "I'm Free" as part of my workout playlist and thought about using the word free. Free to live it up and be me. But, that seemed counterintuitive too since I'm sort of tired of this single thing.
So, after much thought and careful consideration, my word for 2010 is....
*drum roll please*
FUN!
I'm going to enjoy this year to its fullest potential. I'm going to quit taking life and myself (mostly myself) so seriously. I'm going to live in the moment and not take one for granted, no matter how mundane and simple that moment may be. When I feel down, I'm going to blare my music, sing at the top of my lungs and dance like a fool. I'm going to laugh at jokes that are barely funny and those that don't make any sense. I'm going to be silly and goofy and make a valid effort to be and have fun.
The short version to the story behind this picture...
A very dear lady in my church challenged me to wink at all the available guys on our mission trip - which totally cracked me up. This was me practicing - who wouldn't want to date me? Haha!
