Light

For the past few weeks, I've been open to having a word find me for 2013. The one word that kept sneaking in was "light." I'm not sure where that word will take me in 2013, but it has stuck by my side and won't shake loose.

I imagine all sorts of things when I think about "light." Like lightening my load, uncluttering my home and mind. Lightening my work load (amen to that one!). Being of a lighter spirit, unburdened from needless worries that take hold in my mind. Sometimes I think of myself as Eyeore, you know Pooh's friend that always has a rain cloud over his head. Thinking thoughts that weigh me down. Now, with "light" as my focus word for 2013, *poof* that rain cloud disappears on a light wind that just happened to be blowing by.

Light can also lead me to get in better physical shape. Lighten up a bit on those scales, I'm thinking. But I also want to be a light for other people. Not sure how or where or when or why, but I want to exude light, or at least a lightness of being during this new year.

Have you found a word to guide you in 2013? I'll admit that some years I've used my word better than in other years. Last year was renew, but to be honest, I didn't put the time or effort into honoring that word. If I did, I would probably be feeling a bit lighter today anyway.

But this year, I have a mentality that will take me wherever the light will lead.



I found a heart in the sky the other day. How cool is that?!
