ONE little WORD!!
I know...it has taken me FOREVER to share my OLW.
I originally had a different word but it wasn't working for me.
My OLW = positive
Thanks to my mom for helping me choose this word. A couple of months back it was Whoopi Goldberg's birthday and I happened to catch the end of the View. She said something about how she is grateful to be here another year. Now, I always seem to get a little bummed on New Year's, my kids' birthdays and my birthday. I hate thinking about how fast the time is going and how my babies are growing. But Whoopi made me realize that it is more than being bummed it is being grateful to be here.
So I want to be positive....
about enjoying each milestone (years passing)
about losing weight and taking care of myself
about others even when they aren't positive
etc., etc, etc.
etc., etc, etc.
Wowza! What a bright and positive page - perfect for your OLW!
ReplyDeleteOh I love this layout! I almost picked that as my word too! I'll be posting my olw on Friday we have a lot of things in common, and I love what you said thanks for the new look on birthdays!
ReplyDeleteGREAT WORD and layout! Love that pretty happy photo of you!
ReplyDeleteGood luck hope you find much positivity in your year (and all the years after)!
Great word and is just how I always think of you anyway. Striking papers on your layout, bound to keep your word fresh in your mind. Looking forward to hearing about how your word impacts on you over the coming year.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great word for the year. I know I get sad on my girls birthday seeing them grow up. But happy I'm given that chance.

ReplyDeleteI love, love, love this layout Leslie!! It's a great word you picked too. I too used to be sad about another year flying by with my family growing so fast. But, as you age you finally realize that you are grateful to be alive, grateful to be here another year with your grandchildren, etc...I'm glad that you learned this early in life because i will make life much better in the long run. Hugs, Brenda
