As I was doing my usual blog perusing I found the cutest post from one of my friends from back home. She and her husband come up with a theme for each year - something to live by. Last year for them was "we can do hard things," and this year it is "take it up a notch." How darling is that? I love it.
I mentioned it to David today and said, if perchance we were to have a theme for this year, what would it be?
I liked his answer:
Find the best in people.
In situations.
To find the positive outlook.
Of course when he said it, it didn't have a bunch of lovely purple leaves around it - guilty as charged.
I think this is a particularly appropriate theme for us this year. Life is bound to change a lot in a short 12 months. We're going to be moving to a new city with new friends and new experiences this year. We're going to be graduating (can you believe it??) and who knows what other curve-balls life will decide to throw at us? But we will just have to try to find the best in it all.
Even if it is easier said than done...
