(S)well

My word for 2012.  Because resolutions seem too much like rules, or promises, or vows.  None of which I am good at.  But words, words I can do.

This is my focus for the year.

To be a well of cheer.

To swell with gentleness, content, intent, and honesty.

For my family, myself, and everyone to be well.

To let emotions swell and be felt, well up and overflow.

Have a well full of patience for my children.

To ride the swells of life and hide from nothing.

Be willing to climb into the well of myself regardless of what I may find and bring it all up to the surface.

Life is swell.
