I have been flirting with the One Little Word project, trying to decide if I really wanted to commit to one little word with such a huge impact. I dismissed the idea, but it kept creeping into my little mind. Then I got frustrated trying to decide...so I dismissed it again. Why bring on so much stress, expectation and responsibility to One Little Word? Then last evening, on New Year Day I saw it. I stopped dead in my tracks. The sign reached out and grabbed me. I laid on the floor and took this photo. So be it.
This day I will begin yoga practice.
I will begin a new art journal.
I will begin to count the days my son returns home from Iraq.
I will begin things I will not share with you here, and hope they will start new beginnings during the year to come. I will print this photo with several copies to remind myself of new beginnings; place them in my car, on my door, in my backpack, in my recipe book, near my pillow.

I love your word. It's so full of possibility, it's not at all constraining. It's not committed to an end result. All you need to do it BEGIN ... and see what unfolds. Love i!
It's a wonderful word... My problem is not beginning... it's the follow through... Maybe this year I can work on that...
Such a beautifully done post. One word can set off a chain reaction once it breaks through the wall of resistance.
this one little word may take you to ecstasy.....

Wonderful word, I'll have to be thinking of one for me! Word verification is "shedn" Do we shed?! Maybe! Get rid of all negativity, make room for LOVE, Peace, Hope, Faith and Charity!Sending prayers for YOU and your son!
