2~0~1~2 ~ !! Happy New Year !! ~

For three years I have taken my good friend Mandy's lead and begin the new year with a word that I would strive to live by all year long.
In 2008 my focus was finishing grad school~
In 2009 my word was Happiness~
In 2010 my word was Dedication~
In 2011 my word was and will forever continue to be Devotion ~

Today I unveil to you my word for 2012 ~ Blessed

2011 was a very special year for me and for my family ~ I am very blessed by God, my Husband, my Family and my Friends. The wedding was an eye opener to the wonderful people Jon and I are surrounded and lifted up by.

This year I am going to work each and every day to recognize the blessings in my life and praise God for what has been bestowed upon me and those I love and care for.

Everyday is not always the best of days, times are tough in different areas of life; and it is easy to get caught up in what isn't going my way or our way. This year is about acknowledging the blessings in my life and thanking God for each of them every day!

What is your word?
