Okay, so I’m a little late on this. I’ve been busy, you know?
Normally, every year, I set very specific goals and make plans for how I’m going to accomplish them. This year, things are a little different and my only goal is to be a good mom to Lucy while I figure everything else out. So, I’m trying something new. A lot of my friends choose a “word of the year” every year, and I’ve never done it. But new year, new things to try. So, here we go. My word this year is:
EMBRACE
Embrace this new life. Embrace these new challenges. Embrace the joys and the hardships and the highs and lows. Embrace myself, and Graham, and most especially, baby Lucy, who is so fun to cuddle. Embrace all the changes and embrace every moment, and hold these precious, brief days with both arms.
I shall try.

Love the word embrace. Use it a lot in my poetry!

I love that! It’s not a word I’ve used so much in my writing or my life, but that’s going to change this year.

Embrace is a beautiful watch word. I’d add, embrace yourself and give yourself a moment each day for you.

That’s such a good reminder – it’s been hard to find any time for me. I wouldn’t change a thing, because I know the baby days are precious and brief, but it will be nice when I can finally take some minutes for myself during the day again. We’ll get there! For now, snuggles and cuddles and diaper changes!
