My Word for 2012: Create


My family lives and works in New Jersey {right by the shore} while my husband, son, and I live in Indiana. 
639 miles is a long way from family and a very, very long way from the beach! My cousin Kim posted this on her Facebook page and it is very fitting for this, the first day of a brand new year. 

Good-bye 2011 and hello 2012. 

While looking at the picture and thinking about the yearly "choose a word for the year" project, I am struck by the word: Create.



There are so many opportunities waiting to be created in 2012: a new outlook, a new friend, a new chance, a new perception, a new goal, new memories, new stories, new beginnings.

I resolve to make 2012 a year of creation. 

George Bernard Shaw put it best when he said, "Life isn't about finding yourself. Life is about creating yourself."
