One Little Word

I've been inspired by Ali Edwards to think about what my one word will be for the new year! Of course with the end of 2010 I am always thinking about goals I want to accomplish in the new year. Last year's resolution was to spend 15 minutes a day organizing my massive collection of photos. Like any new year's resolution it wasn't a routine I fully latched onto. I also always wish in the back of my mind that each new year will be the year that I finally get into shape and lose those extra unwanted pounds. Once again it hasn't been a change that I've fully made. So as I was reflecting over my goals for 2011 the word perseverance popped into my head. Perseverance is defined as a steady persistence in a course of action, a purpose, a state, etc., in spite of difficulties, obstacles, or discouragement. So this year I will persevere! I will continue on my weight loss journey and finally finish what I've started. I know that along the way there will be obstacles and difficulties but I hope my one little word will remind me to persevere!
