About Resolutions
I have a difficult time selecting just one New Year’s resolution, so I’ve decided to follow the wisdom espoused by several of my writer friends. They’ve each selected one word as a resolution.
For some reason that seems to make the whole resolution thing a whole lot easier, and I’ve decided that for 2012 my word is JOY. Not happiness you understand, which depends on outer circumstances, but JOY, which I elect to define as the acknowledgment of God’s love and presence in my life.
If you could choose only one word as your New Year’s “resolution”, what would it be?
Blessings!

My word is WONDER. This year I want to explore and experience curiosity, spontaneous delight , and the sense of amazement. This is my third year of a photo 365/6 project and through this I have (re)awakened a sense of wonder that I want to maintain.
“People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Every day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the black, curious eyes of a child — our own two eyes. All is a miracle.”

What a great word, Kate!
