Last year, I was so stressed and had so many different things on my mind, I forgot to pick a word. However, one picked me. Breathe. So many times, I just had to sit back and breathe. Hubby's health issues...just breathe. Car issues...just breathe. Mom's health issues...just breathe. Church issues...just breathe. Computer issues...just breathe. Writing issues...just breathe.
Taking a step back and breathing gave me a chance to think clearer. To see that things weren't as bad as they seemed and could be worse. Breathing gave me a chance to center myself before flying off the handle and making things worse.
I haven't picked a word for this year. I've several in mind but I will continue to breathe.
What about you? Ever picked a word for the year? Want to share what it is, if you have?
