One of the blogs that I follow for creative scrapbooking inspiration is Ali Edward. Every year she chooses a word to focus on - to reflect and act on - and I think I would like to join her this year. The word that has been speaking to me is 'delight'.
delight - joy: great enjoyment and pleasure, somebody or something giving joy.
I would like to feel more delight in my life - more joy in the stage I'm in, more joy in my family and my home. I find myself being more negative as I get older - not that I am unhappy, it's just that I think things become stale and what once was uplifting eventually becomes 'bleh' unless you make the effort to look with fresh eyes once in a while. I would also like to bring delight to others - to make that effort to listen to their needs and do something to make their day. I pride myself on noticing new haircuts and finding something nice to say to people to make them feel good about themselves when I am at work. Now I need to focus on bringing more delight to my family - making sure that they feel cherished and appreciated and do little things to show I care. Here's to a delightful 2011!!
