My word for 2014

Firstly I would like to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year. Here's hoping 2014 is good to us all.

For the past few years I have resisted in setting resolutions for myself at this time of year as I found I set unreal, unachievable goals for myself, setting myself up to fail. So now I follow Ali Edwards example and find One Little Word to help guide me & keep me on track for the coming year.
After a lot of thought I've chosen...

 BALANCE


During this year I want to find the right balance for me between:

-eating / cooking & being fit & healthy.
-being inside & being outside.
-recording our memories & making our memories.
-being busy & taking time to relax.
-time with my family & friends & spending time alone.
-being a good person & not being taken for granted.
-feeling stressed/emotional & feeling    strong / in control.

The plan is to keep remembering this OLW & revisit this post periodically to help achieve the optimum balance in my life.
