a little bit of a different #tbt today.

it's january
which gets me thinking about
resolutions
and fresh starts
and goals and lists and
all that stuff just makes my heart race
with geeky excitement
even though
i am cynic enough
to realize
that every year
i make a lot of the
exact
same
resolutions
and don't normally stick to them...
but the optimist in me is still
cheering
and waving her pretend pompoms...yelling
this year will be different,
this year you can DO IT!
:)

and every year, i choose a word
to be the backdrop for my year...
last year, it was happy
but, in all honesty,
last year
was not my happiest year.

2015 was risk...
and it's funny as i read what i wrote
in 2015...
it feels very similar to what i thought about today
as i chose my word for 2017...
only...maybe less negative sounding...
i haven't fully decided yet if it is the right word for 2017
(hey...a year is a long time to be stuck
with a word that sucks!)
but i feel pretty close.

what about you?
do you choose a word? a theme?
make resolutions? break resolutions?
i'd totally love to know that there are
others out there like me...
:)
