WORD OF THE YEAR

Instead of making New Year's Resolutions I like to have a word of the year. 

This word will be something that I feel I need to improve on in my life.

This year the word is:

LISTEN

There are many ways in my life that I need to listen better.  

The first one is that I need to listen to my body.  Right now, I am struggling with getting type 2 diabetes under control.  I have been doing well with diet and exercise for many years, but it is getting harder now and some changes need to be made.  I know if I listen to my body it will help me to treat it the best I can.

I also need to be more careful in taking time to listening to those around me.  Especially my family.  I need to just be quiet and look them in the eye and not always think I am right!  

And, last but not least, I need to work harder on listening to the Spirit.
