my 2012 word for the year

Being Deliberate-a 3 week check-in

my 2012 word for the year
It’s been about 3 weeks since I declared my intentions to be deliberate in 2012. How’ve I done? Well…

I’m still running/walking with the Couch to 5K program. It’s been cold, my shins hurt a little, and sometimes I think I’ll never make it, but I’m still giving it my best.

I picked up the phone to call (okay, text) a friend. We set a play date and we watched our kids play hard while we enjoyed a cup of coffee and a wonderful chat.

I made a black skirt. This was a very deliberate descion on several levels. First, I knew I wanted to sew. Rather than just make up a pattern that was appealing to me, I decided to take a look in the closet to see what I needed. I decided that I could use a causal/weekend uniform skirt. I choose to replicate a store bought skirt I loved and wore all summer. I lengthend it for the fall. Lastly, I choose to complete the skirt in one evening. Hooray! These means I didn’t add another project to my UFO pile (UFO=UnFinished Object).

I’m doing a better job sneaking veggies and fruits into my family’s diet. This has been easier with our garden and our road trips lately. I found some amazing veggies at a Farmer’s Market down in Destrehan. (Thanks Jane!) I’ve also been to New Orleans and Little Rock so I could grab a few things at Whole Foods.

I really like this “One Word” thing. It’s been rewarding to discover that I’m following my intentions rather than failing at resolutions.

  1. I really like WordPress and how you can do the text in the box. That’s cool. 🙂 I’m still working to move this way – still trying to make decisions about a name and find the time to make a header. I’ll hit you up for those links you offered when I get to that point. (or you can just send them when you have time and I’ll save them)

    Good job on the being deliberate. And way to go on the running. When we ran the other day, our shins hurt too but our hips…oh my! My hips still hurt today. (And I will not admit that I’m getting old!)

    I so wish we could get a Whole Foods here. I think I need to get a road trip to Dallas so I can visit one. 😀
