I am just not apparently in the right frame of mind to be able to come up with one. Even my New Years resolution is vague. I guess a little more thinking and soul-searching is in order. :)Lorri Maushttp://momshobbyfarm.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-67262834612647710342015-01-02T15:18:22.000-05:002015-01-02T15:18:22.000-05:00I love the idea of change.

No matter how young or old you are if we are willing then we can change and grow. This is a good thing. My new year resolution last year was change and is still the same for this year. I'm still learning, changing and growing.

Well, my word is 'declutter!'<br>When did that become a word - nay, a mantra? <br><br>Or maybe 'focus'... on one thing at a time! One house. One book. One project. At a time.

I know that the more stuff I have, the more stuff I have to manage and that is not a relaxing feeling at all! Moving towards calm and simple is part of the change I haven't quite acquired yet.

But...Ok, I guess I will join the one word movement. But I have been trying to think of what my one word would be off and on all year and can't come near thinking of a word. I have been reading books, blogs, you name it, about simplifying for over ten years. Still there is nothing about my life, home, hobbies, retirement that is simple. Maybe because I have so much. So much books, fabric, family, wants, desires, etc. I get so overwhelmed thinking of all I need to do to simplify I give up and do nothing. I don't think the word "simplify" would be enough so maybe unclutter? organize? purge? I wish I had the money to give away everything and start over from scratch. Just buy what I need when I "really" need it. A bare necessity thing. Still mulling it over.Debbie Hnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-75952177340845677392015-01-02T11:08:24.000-05:002015-01-02T11:08:24.000-05:00Hello Kim!

A few years ago my word was Structure. An interesting word since later that year our office was down-sized, and I decided to take the offered severance package. My life became a totally new structure!<br> This year, I believe my word will be Calm. I want to be calm, I want my home to be calm. Calm may mean my attitude, but it also may mean my surroundings can be simplified to a more calm state. Being more organized with my paperwork and getting rid of more clutter will keep us all calmer.JanLnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7072740790042271296.post-6282194838688354512015-01-03T02:37:36.000-05:002015-01-03T02:37:36.000-05:00Exactly.
