One Little Word...

Following an idea started by Ali Edwards,

for the past few years

I've always picked a word at the start of each year,

to help guide me & help me

stay focused for the coming year ahead.

This year is no exception.

RESUME

1. to take up or go on with again after interruption; continue.

2. to take or occupy again

3. to take or assume use or practise of again

4. to take back.

This is my word.

I totally feel like our lives

since our house fire 2 years ago

have been on hold

with all our time, attention, strength & energy

going in to the complex minefield of sorting our insurance

& supervising the builders.

Even though this process is not quite over yet

I want to shake free of it,

and RESUME my life.

I want to RESUME...

living our lives in our own home

having more quality time with my kids

having lunch dates with my husband

seeing more of my friends

clearing our lock up of the last singed reminders

doing what I enjoy

exercising more

having piano lessons

doing all sorts of crafts.

learning that relaxing is not a waste of time!

Thank you for your patience

if you have read this far!!

I hope to look back at this often to remind myself

of the direction I want to take.
