Well, after sharing my new mission for blogging…I never would have thought I would wait so long to post again. However, after nearly a week of being sick and then catching up to the world that continued to move, time went by quickly. Thank you for your continued patience and grace!
One focus.
One focus for 2012.
12 months. One focus. What will be?
I sit. I ponder. I look out the window with my cat next to me. I think. I pray. I wonder. What will it be?
I blink.
12 months flash before my eyes. It seems like yesterday when 2011 came into being. But yet, here I am ponder a new year, and all that it may hold.
Where does time go? How does it go by so quickly without me taking notice?

I ponder the year ahead of me. I think about how I do not want it to go by so quickly.
How do I stop this fast moving world? How do I make time slow down for me to enjoy each moment?
I remember reading…how to live fully.
When you live fully you live with your eyes wide open. Taking in every moment. Not letting the moments go by in a blur so quickly that you don’t take notice.

What does the year 2012 hold for me? I do not know. But this I know, and I am going to hold it close to my heart:
The year 2012, is going to be a year of living in the present. Living in the now. Not letting a moment go by too quickly, but instead living life fully with eyes wide open, living today in the present.

Have you chosen a focus for the year? Maybe one word? Maybe a couple {like me}? I’d love to hear in the comments!
p.s. I’ve got an inspiration board forming for my focus, Be Present. The pictures from this post are all from it.
Well said! I hope to do the same =)
I like the idea of summarizing your focus. I struggled to get a word or short phrase but I think I’ve decided it would be Biblical Homemaking. Thanks for the challenge, Ashley! Looking forward to seeing you at SWI.
