Where does it go!?! I am trying to think of a single word, but have come up with several words that I should work on. My biggest one would be "motivation", as I tend to procrastinate both at home and at work. Another would be "tone". Sometimes the tone of my words comes across as harsh when I don't mean them to be that way at all. I am able to choose the tone of my day (relaxing, stressful, happy) but often let others make that choice for me. I need to be in better control of the tone of my life. No matter what word I choose, I hope to be a better person at the end of 2009. There is always room for improvement!<BR/>LauriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774535709502848037.post-45417865505027732342009-01-02T07:21:00.000-06:002009-01-02T07:21:00.000-06:00Hi Jacque ~ I love the poem and I, too, hope that ...Hi Jacque ~ I love the poem and I, too, hope that I'm making my 'dash' count for something!! And I read Ali Edwards blog and love the idea of a word to live by for 2009 ~ mine is 'change'. So we're all on the same track ~ the trick will be to put it into motion! <BR/>AliceAlice ~ Folk Art Primitiveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16665925544333050591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774535709502848037.post-7555407573926953112009-01-02T03:23:00.000-06:002009-01-02T03:23:00.000-06:00Wow, I liked the poem very much.

I must have faith in God and in the people in my life.<BR/>JoyceAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-774535709502848037.post-10063404434841925312009-01-01T21:22:00.000-06:002009-01-01T21:22:00.000-06:00My goodness, Jacque, you ARE chatty today! But I ...My goodness, Jacque, you ARE chatty today! But I like your posts. Very thoughtful and thought provoking. Huuummmmm, I wonder what my dash will say? I've always tried to be the best mother I could be. Perhaps I've not always suceeded but I tried. And I've always tried to be a good wife. But a good Christian? Not always, but God's not done with me yet. There's lots of room for improvement. <BR/><BR/>As for my word for the year, oh, heavens, I don't know. I might go with "Loving." I want to be more loving with all of the people in my life. <BR/><BR/>But life is already making all of this difficult. Just as I'm starting to feel like I'm going to live, I just got an email from my cousin tonight. My aunt is in the hospital with pneumonia and congestive heart failure. After the initial wave of sympathy, my first thought was "oh, I really don't want to make the drive to Omaha when I'm feeling this badly and not knowing what the weather will do." And we're really getting too old to make the drive up and back home in one day, but if we stay, we need a cat sitter and the money for a motel, etc. <BR/><BR/>Would it be bad of me to whine just a bit and say "I don't want this!! Not now! I'm just not up to it!" <BR/><BR/>This isn't what I had hoped for New Year's Day.JoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488275878253530422noreply@blogger.com
