Dancing in the Rain

Wow, I can't believe it's May already. Y'all may have forgotten that way back in January , I did a "word of the month" and said something about doing one every month. Well...obviously, I haven't kept that up but I'm going to try again. First, though, I wanted to mention something else. Over on Kayleigh's blog , Adam and Aimee have written the sweetest, most heart-wrenching post and I suggest you go read it. Kayleigh's brain has started swelling, which is really not a good sign. It looks like the beginning of the end of her earthly life. Please be praying, especially for Adam and Aimee, Kayleigh's parents, and for Brandon and Allyson, Kayleigh's big brother and sister. So, a word of the month for May. I think that my word for this month is going to be... now . I have this really bad habit of spending a lot of time daydreaming, lost in some imaginary future. The problem is, I can't live in the future. I can only live in the now . Now is...

So, after reading Jennifer's "Word of the Year" post at Homes of Love , I wanted to do the same thing. Problem is, I simply can't come up with just one word. SOOOOO, I'm going to do a "word of the month". That gives me 12 words for a year; maybe that I can do. :D So my word for January is: consistent I tend to be scatter-brained and easily distracted (unless, of course, I'm reading a good book or watching a good movie!), and a little hit-and-miss at various important things in life. Such as having a quiet time. Or having meals ready on time (my poor family). Or remembering all the other little things I'm supposed to do (I have to set an alarm to remember to vacuum the living floor when it's my turn). Or being on time with birthday cards, etc. OK, so maybe my problem isn't so "little"... :P So my word--and thus my goal--for January (and all of 2009, of course!) is consistent --to be consistent, that is. Not necessarily perfect...
