52 Weeks to Simpify - Focus Word - DO!!

2012 - New Challenges

This year I also decided to choose a Focus word for the year
My Word is -  . . . . . . . . wait for it!!

DO

Why do - because I just need to do things - not procrastinate, not wait till I have the right stuff, not wait till I have energy, etc. You get the point - right?

I just need to DO.

So here goes-

I am Doing the 52-weeks to simplify your life  over at Home Life Simplified. Check it out and see if you are interested? I am excited about it!

Our Week One challenge was to create a list of everything that went right in 2011.

This whole blogging this is new and I am not really comfortable writing  So . . .I opted to stay in my comfort zone and scrap a page (a kinda knock down bottle with one stone effect - do the challenge and get some pages done!!)




After posting a Previewing I have decided I should probably list my journaling - so you in blog-land could enjoy.

- The girl graduated from High School and a family and friends joined in celebration for her.

- The boy graduated from 8th grade and is now a High School young man.

- Niece Ali and Corey united in marriage in June - it was a dream wedding - the family  had all the classic cars together to drive the bridal party around.

- Niece Jenny and Jon got married the next day on the shores of Lake Superior - we accompanied my dad and had a wonderful time - It was so beautiful!

- At this time we also got to explore some of the North Shore sites while we were up there.

- We camped at the racetrack about 40 nites this race season and had very enjoyable weather for all of it.

- Friends Amber and Jeremy got married in July. All I can say is - A great time had by all!!

- The girl became a Jackrabbit and is now a college student living the dorm life.

- The boy and My man both place in points for the drag racing season - I am so very proud of them.

- We also managed to spend some time at my fathers cabin just enjoying up-north peaceful scenery.

Granted this is not a complete list - we had a great year and I believe in finding the positive in everything  - so alot was right and good in 2011.

So I say Good-bye 2011 and Hello 2012 -
