Do Good

Motto for my daughters sorority is to “do good.” Being with her this past weekend has been wonderful. I got her this poster from Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign. It speaks volumes to me and to her. Do good. Do something. Do the most good with what you can.Sometimes we are not always able to do good, but you should be able to do the right thing.  Have manners.  Think things through.  Love each other.  Do good.

Blessings.

Strength

Most of the time I don’t consider myself very strong.  I find that I doubt myself.  Just going along saying yes, of course, why not, even when I don’t want to.  Mainly because I feel obligated out of years of friendship.  Yesterday I said no.  Yesterday I said my feelings were hurt.

Seasons have changed, life has changed, and we have grown.  Our children aren’t friends as much as we both would love to say that they are.  We care for one another, and will forever love one another.  Neither one of us wants to hurt the other, but in doing that have caused more hurt it seems.

Hurt.  Growth.  Strength.  I am hurt.  I have grown.  I have strength.  I have changed.

it hurt

Year of Words

This year Carmen, David and I chose one word for our daily motivation if you will.

Mine is to be Fierce.  David is to be Daring.  And when speaking with Carmen yesterday she couldn’t remember hers.  Really?  David and I have been taking ours to heart.  Telling each other to be daring or to be fierce.  To approach the day or the task with our word at our forefront.

I have often thought of Fierce as a negative, but really have come to realize what a strong, vibrant word it can be.  It is exciting, and truly gets me going for the day.  I get encouraged by telling David to be daring!  To tackle the day only in the way he can.

Have you chosen a word for 2018?  How do you incorporate it into your daily life?Apparently, these word things are a pretty big deal, and someone had the bright idea to make some money off of them.  I got David and my words done for our key chains (with Lupus ribbons on mine).  Cool idea, and neat thoughts if you want to look at their site myintent.org.

Blessings!
