Our schedules are so busy all year, but after the holidays, it slows down. We've seen our family and friends at the holidays, no one is motivated to do much (or has the $ after the holidays!). <br /><br />For me it is a time to enjoy my home and my family and to live a little simpler life.<br /><br />My mother-in-law got us a beautiful sign for Christmas with a barn and a cow that hangs by our front door now that says, live life simply.<br /><br />That is what I plan to do.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16808416213218275885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-65187114577876221982011-01-04T10:47:55.277-05:002011-01-04T10:47:55.277-05:00Hey girl. I'm stickin' with the word "...Hey girl. I'm stickin' with the word "Do." again this year - I'm so excited I was blessed by a special delivery from Melody herself from The Brave Girls Club - she dropped off a kit for their 6 week on-line seminar. I wanted to share that with you because I remember I told you about my weird way I found out that my husband and her husband are friends and also you went to Brave Girls Camp - I'm looking forward to 2011 as a year of do (ing) lots of things I've been just thinking about - so instead of just thinking about them I'm going to DO. them and be Brave!!Sami Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15413226469017420404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-13557546462933939222011-01-03T22:45:20.043-05:002011-01-03T22:45:20.043-05:00wow. i love this. i love the energy, the holy &quo...wow. i love this. i love the energy, the holy "vibe" in it (can i say that?) ... and there is SO much love in that photo of your husband squeezing you. i too feel i am going to bloom. it hasn't happened yet, but soon. and what would this mean, if we hadn't known pain, first? may God bless you this year, dear friend.

I have been visiting randomly since spring?? I am always glad when I do!! You have a beautiful spirit.<br /><br />In the last decade our little family has been through many many medical trials... and as God grew my heart in the midst... I stopped planning ahead... I started living for the day...life changes so quickly... My life phrase became ~ Seize the Day... Seize the precious moments God grants us and Live, Laugh, Love, Trust and Hope! =) I named my wee little blog a year ago Seizing My Day because that is my Word. =) I never want to look back and regret... I want to remember Every Day is New Years Day... everyday I am blessed to wake up and Seize the Day... even in the midst of trials ... there are beautiful moments to Seize! Every Day I want to live life to its fullest... so If I catch myself getting down, getting grumpy, looking at my glass half empty... I remind myself to Seize My Day... a day given to me by a Beautiful Loving God! Many many years ago God worked in my heart to Surrender... Surrender myself to HIM every moment of every day... He wants so much to live in and through us all... if we surrender ourselves to His Holy Spirit...He Will Do Beautiful things in and through us!! That is where I want to be once again... not only Seizing My Day but Surrendering My Day to Him!! oops... thinkin out loud... but it turned out beautiful... reminding me to Surrender!! <br /><br />Bless you for having such an open heart in this crazy land of blogging! =) <br /><br />Are you cross country skiing right out our back door??!! (envy envy!! it has been WAY too long since I did that!) =)Seizing My Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13245085711105059612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-75937190264156799602011-01-03T18:53:19.727-05:002011-01-03T18:53:19.727-05:00I'm ADVENTURE this year.

So I am incorporating adventure into my life to shake me out of my comfort zone and remind myself to take chances in life.<br /><br />You are definitely blooming!

I'm trying to burn into my heart & soul - walk by faith, not by sight & God keeps putting phrases about faith everywhere for me to see. However, walking by faith not by sight, is one of the hardest things I have had to do! I have a lot of work to do this year :) I think baby girl Ollie Faith will help when she arrives :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422211235427449216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-26460436162963059452011-01-03T14:11:28.040-05:002011-01-03T14:11:28.040-05:00i am working on my word for this year. love your ...i am working on my word for this year. love your word and your new outlook on jan. in MN. it can be a long month, the only saving grace for me is my birthday is this month!Two Little Totshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14439966692503491884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-40290367125552165582011-01-03T13:35:55.767-05:002011-01-03T13:35:55.767-05:00girl - your photos are fabulous.

I loved looking at them.I do not knw what camera you now have but I don't think that you have to learn much about it. :) <br /><br />I chose my word for this year about 2 weeks ago and have yet to blog about it. Last year my word was hope. This year I have chosen the word peace for many reasons. <br /><br />We, in NH are very blessed this year. We have only had one snow storm so far and that was on December 26-27. I think we got about 8 inches of snow. Since then we have had 40 and 50 degree weather with some sunshine so our snow has melted away quite a bit. I am hoping that is a sign that our winter will go by quickly this year. I'm sorry that your having so much snow. We have had and will continue as of tonight to be back into the very cold. keep smiling that beautiful smile that you have. Only a few mnoths left of winter. :) <br /><br />MaryMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103572563333198645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-41973666585146520932011-01-02T23:35:17.356-05:002011-01-02T23:35:17.356-05:00To live without fear.

Christmas will be this Saturday for us. We were all too sad to do it 5 days after he left us. But through the process of preparing to lay him to rest I learned so much from him. He lived a lot of life and without fear. He made people laugh and he was a goof and he tried new things.<br />So in honor of Steve, I want to try living without fear of.....?chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374260010750004894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3812834706420893840.post-67482207823003844152011-01-02T23:30:53.750-05:002011-01-02T23:30:53.750-05:00Look at you bloom girl- your photographs are amazi...Look at you bloom girl- your photographs are amazing.

With that great big space of snow and the barn in the background? Incredible.<br /><br />I'm feeling a bit of anxiety at getting things together this year- like there is so much I want to do and I don't know how to start. <br /><br />I've had an attachment to the word thrive since having cancer. Everyone always talks about surviving but it never seemed enough.
