Last year, my Mom posted something about choosing one word for the year. My word for 2014 was Flexible. I think I did a pretty good job with that word. I couldn't remember what it was, so it wasn't something I kept in the back of my mind. I need to choose a new word for 2015. I am thinking, Transformation. This is my year for transformation, for working on myself, body and soul. Not only do I have physical goals, I feel like I have stepped back behind the veil. I am in a shell once again. I don't like seeing the world through a shroud and not feeling like I am participating completely.

On a more mundane note, I need to make a certain amount of money for each paycheck in the next two months. That is of course, assuming I will still be working through February. I am pretty sure I have enough to do to get me through that point. The only problem? I have to sit my butt down in a chair and actually do the work. That's been a problem since the holidays hit. I am trying to pay off a few things. Some of it was overspending during the holidays.

I need to pack up Christmas in the house and get this placed cleaned up. The kids have friends that are moving away Sunday and I need to make sure they get to say goodbye to them today. Katey is not going to be happy that her friend, Mia, won't be available to play anymore. Jaden is several years older than Nicky and it won't be as much of a problem for him. I also need to get to the bank this morning, but no one but Katey and I are awake yet. I would just take her and go, but Ned has Karate this morning and I wouldn't be back in time for him to leave. I better make sure he is up actually.

Instead of work this morning, I am doing housework. Not a bad trade off, but it is better to work while Ned is gone. When he gets home, I won't want to anymore for sure. I took a pause to make sure Ned was up and stopped to fold and put away the laundry. If my kitchen would magically clean itself, I would be all set. Avoidance and procrastination, they are my morning.

I'm procrastinating taking my tree down. I put up fewer decs this year so as to have less work now, but taking down the Xmas tree is a drag.

I did a great mediation/writing exercise thing that was about choosing a word for the year. I chose "GO!" for 2015. I'm actually super excited by this concept. :)

I like the idea of choosing a word for the year and transformation is incredibly evocative. Now I have to ponder what word I would want.
My husband has been in 'spring' cleaning mode in the last few weeks which is awesome, but I feel a little guilty that I'm not keeping up.

It was actually difficult to come up with just one word that summed up my ideas for this year.
