This morning, I was greeted by this post which was a nice little nudge to pick a word for this year. Sarah's word is nurture. I love that word-and I love the way Sarah nurtures her family.
Next, I moved onto Colleen's post about life in general. And there it was-the word I know I need for this year!
MOTIVATION
I need motivation in so many areas of my life right now. Part of this is hormonal. I am tired. My daughter has gone through long stretches of not sleeping well. My depression reared it's ugly head in the last quarter of 2012. And the switch to full time work has been an adjustment. I love what I do, and I love doing it from home, but it has meant some major changes around here, some that I was not prepared for.
So, the word for 2013, is motivation. I am motivated to make the changes necessary to make things run more smoothly at home. I am motivated to exercise more. I am motivated to budget and coupon more. I am motivated to pray more (for I know without that I can do nothing!). There will be more on this topic in the days to come, but for now, I leave you with a question...
What is your word for 2013?

Working from home full time is so hard because you are still expected to be a wife and mother full-time. I don't know how you do it with a little one at home!! Maybe getting a mother's helper for a few hours a day would be helpful? As for exercise, just start by doing muscle stuff (situps, push ups - on knees, squats, lunges) while watching tv. I find when people go all out, they quit fast ;)
I still don't know my word. Maybe it's ACTION. Like stop talking about things and just do them already.
What a great word Therese! There are so many good ones, aren't there? But, as we both mentioned, when the one we're suppose to do comes it HITS us and we know that's the one.
Motivation is hard. It is not fun and if you are like me, most days it's severely lacking. I know our circumstances and work is different, but I almost literally do not sit all day long. I keep myself moving and being that everything feels like a full time task right now, I'm always kickin' myself in the pants to stay motivated. ugh. But, I know that I feel better when I keep it up.
I hope that your 2013 is blessed and you find ways to start being motivated and to stay motivated. You go girl!
Keep us posted.
