My Word for 2019 - MINDFULNESS

Dec 29, 2018

Yes, the 2018 Holiday Season is OVER! 2019 is two days away.   I don't care much for resolutions because, as we all know, for the most part none of us are resolute. 

I do need some direction in my head, though - a point of focus.  A word.  My word at this time of my life is MINDFUL - it applies to all areas of my life - in how I interact with other people (especially those I love), how I conduct my affairs, and how I treat myself to name significant ones. 

It's so easy to take for granted our relationships with others and ourselves.  It's too easy to overlook taking the time to say I love you - to hug your loved ones.  It's too easy to let our personal affairs slide sometimes because we think we're too busy.  And we are always the last on the list of "things" to take care of.  

This is my year to be mindful - especially with myself and my loved ones. 

• Mindful of how I conduct myself
• Mindful of what I eat
• Mindful of how I exercise my body
• Mindful of how I allow other to treat me

This week I read something said by the fictional character Meredith Grey (Grey's Anatomy) that, thank you whomever wrote the script,  truly resonated with me for this year - 

"So, do it. Decide. Is this the life you want to live? Is this the person you want to love? Is this the best you an be? Can you be stronger? Kinder? More compassionate?  Decide. Breath in. Breath out and decide."

Be mindful my friends.  Mindful of where you are in your life, what you are, what you want to be.  Be mindful of how you treat yourself.  Be strong, be kind, be compassionate - 

Happy New Year!
