…Saturday Thoughts

Happy Saturday, Friends!

I’m trying to force myself to have some sort of positive thoughts right now since my blood pressure is through the roof and I am frustrated beyond belief. My stupid, idiotic, useless computer is driving me positively insane. Really. I’m a mad woman. I’ve kicked it, screamed at it, shed many a tear over it, and called it every foul name in the book.

It’s response? It sits there and mocks me as it reboots every time I try to save what I’ve been working on {pictures}. It beeps and whistles as it slowly comes back to life and flashes it’s not-so-fancy colors {dying monitor} at me and tricks me into believing that this time will be my lucky moment and it beguiles me into thinking I’ve fixed the problem {by kicking it repeatedly}.

Anyway. I’m trying to get over it. Really.

So I meant to post about my One Little Word for 2010 last week but I never got around to it.

Let us review my past words, shall we?

2007 Love Took a chance on love and moved to Arkansas to pursue it!

2008 Create I felt pretty good about this word. I spent 2008 getting more into taking photos and creating more digital scrapping projects. What I think I didn’t do well on was creating more of a life for me down here in Ark. I didn’t make any friends outside of work, I didn’t join any clubs or groups in order to do so, and I wish that I had. It was one of my goals for that year.

2009 Fit I went absolutely nowhere with this. I didn’t get fit-physically, mentally, monitarily. I was a big fat loser, in fact. I didn’t even try. Didn’t work on it at all. What’s the point of “having” a word if I’m not going to do anything with it, right?

Let me just say I’m not doing so well with it thus far either. My word for this year is Thoughtful. I had grand plans of remembering to send birthday post cards to every single person in my family this entire year. I’ve already missed, like, 4 cousins. Granted, I really didn’t know it was their birthdays-guess I should have looked at the handy-dandy list that Mom printed out for me-sooner.

I’m going to try to get on track with that this coming week though. I’m also wanting to get back to handwriting notes, letters, cards to my friends and family. I think too much of the time I get SO wrapped up in myself that I flip the blinders on to what’s going on around me {easy to do when I’m 800 miles away from almost everyone in my life}.

So…that’s one focus for 2010. I also started a photo project for this year too….something I already know that I’ll fail miserably. A picture a day for 365 days. A whole year. I’ve already found myself scrambling last minute to click-a-pic….but I am trying to capture and image that represents part of my life and not just some random photo.
