per·se·vere
to persist in anything undertaken; maintain a purpose inspite of difficulty, obstacles, or discouragement; continue steadfastly.
I'm jumping on the bandwagon of the blogging world. People all over the blog-o-sphere are choosing a word for the year. Something to work on or be inspired by. Or they just think it's cool and want to be like everyone else (hey--at least I OWN my bandwagoning...I'm such a follower in this instance)
I've spent a few days thinking about my goals for the next year. Of course we have the ever present lose weight, become a better mom, join the circus, become a fire-person (must be PC here people)...you know...run of the mill goals. On top of my own thoughts I've spent a lot of time discussing things with the man in my life. Since I did marry him I thought I probably should include him in this process...right???
In a nutshell..every goal I could (and have) set all comes down to one simple thing. Perseverance. Period. I'm really good at setting goals. Ask my husband. I'm also good at STARTING them...but seeing them through to completion?? That's a whole other issue. But this year I'm bound and determined to see them through.
Except for joining the circus. I could only be the bearded lady or a clown...and I just don't feel either one of those jobs will showcase my natural abilities.
