Reading around the blogsphere, there have been a lot of blogs coming up with a word to live by for the year. I have thought about it for a while and the word I keep coming back to is now.
One of my worst characteristics is procrastination. Especially with chores and anything I dislike.
I really want to work on changing this bad habit this year. I am working on saying now instead of later with what needs to be done.
Do you have a word for the year that you are trying to live by?

Please pray for a cure for Type One Diabetes
Our sons Tom and Christopher and our daughter Amelia are type one diabetics. We pray everyday for a cure. We do not want one by illicit means though so don't support any organisation that contributes to Embryonic Stem Cell Research. Click on the photo of Tom and Christopher to read about why I am against using Embryonic Stem cells for a cure.

Tom's and Christopher's insulin pump
New book: Faith Quilt.
All proceeds from sales of "FAITH QUILT" going to "Casa de Amor Children's Homes in Bolivia" and "Sarah's Covenant Homes in India" Two truly extraordinary organisations that take in the most needy children and give them a place of love and security to call home.

For me it would have to be humility.
Gentleness for me. Some way to go though...
For me, maybe "care."
I'm trying out detachment.
I've been thinking about it, and it needs to be 'kind' -
Mine is YES. To things like my vocation and trying to live it more generously.
i have heard this on other blogs that a lot of people have a word for the year.
I guess I would say Hope is my word.
Need to think about a word for me...but I love yours! How very St. Therese...to live in the moment!
Hmm, grateful? (As in, I need to be more of it!)
yes i do. my word for this year is offer. i offer all my intense physical suffering up to Jesus for poor sinners the world over.
my word is "Order"
I'm with you, Therese. My biggest character flaw is also procrastination, but I took ♥ in Ruby's post which was "Just do It".
Unfortunately I can't find the post right now, but her blog is at http://mummasplace.blogspot.com/ if you want to take a look for yourself.
My word would have to be finish...this year I am determined to finish everything I start. That's a real problem for me.
If I had to choose, I would probably choose "Buy ingredients, not foods". But there are so many things happening this year that I can't seem to focus on one in particular! lol
I guess I have 2 things to focus on, really: Ora et Labora - 'Pray and Work'.
