peace

i have a word for 2009 - it's peace.

this was my inspiration.

last year my word was simplify (I even made a t-shirt with simplify on ... taught by Em who was taught by Amy.)

simplify didn't happen in 2008 ... chaos, disorder, heartache? yep, but no simplify.

so i'm determined that in 2009, my version of peace will be achieved.

I've edited the definition from here, and this is how it goes:

peace
1: a state of tranquillity or quiet:
2: freedom from disquieting or oppressive thoughts or emotions
3: harmony in personal relations

at peace

1: in a state of concord or tranquillity

wish me luck!

You Suck - but I Love You anyway ... Happy 1st Birthday Dyson!!

Oh Dyson, how ironic that I should choose the Eve of 2008 to bring you into my life!

2008 - a year that brought so much dirt, muck, crud and mess into my life. If only you could suck it all away with your super duper-ness, and I could just empty it into the bin and have it all taken far away ...

And now on the Eve of 2009, my Dad & Sister surprise me with the gift of 2 cleaners for 2 hours!

An unkind person (thanks Big B!) might say they think my home needs a good clean ... I think it's a powerful metaphor for moving into the New Year all clean and fresh and sparkly.

Works for me!
