So I was on Facebook a couple days before the New Year and saw a friends post. She is actually a wonderful hoop instructor here in the Triangle. Circle of Joy by Caroleeena. Anyhow, she had posted an article by this writer who was talking about, how instead of making ‘resolutions’ you should choose a word for the year. Alot of people make a list of all these ‘resolutions’, I know I do, and I rarely stick to them. Last year, the only one I kept up with was exercise. (YEAH JAZZERCISE!!) So the word I chose for 2012 was {JOY} I want to focus on being happier this year. All the time, even when I am sad, even when I feel tired, even when someone cuts me off. Yesterday I was feeling frustrated with my kids homework, and I could feel myself getting worked up, and my son said ‘ mom, remember your word? ‘. LOL. I said, “YES”. So I stopped and took a breath and immediately relaxed. My little kids did this too. (Their words are “Focus and Imagination”) We wrote our words on River stones and have them where we can see them.
So I think of it often throughout the day. I will think of it while dancing. Because you should always feel JOY when you DANCE! xxoo
HAPPY JOYFUL 2012
