Clarity

Sunday, January 4th, 2009

Clarity.  My word for 2009.  It kept coming to mind, no matter how hard I tried to think of another word.  So clarity it must be.

There are ways that it can seriously be applied.  To me.

Oddly enough, in trying to explain why clarity is my word for 2009, an acrostic came to mind.

C – carefully
L – looking
A – at
R – reasons,
I – ideas,
T – thoughts,
Y – yourself

Something you may not know about me.  I can be impulsive.  I get myself into trouble sometimes by doing things for no good reason.  Or, maybe a better way to say it is that I carelessly abandon something that was being done for a very good reason to do something else for less of a good reason.

I sometimes chase after thoughts or ideas that swim through my mind, and it’s not always good because I should have been staying right where I was, finishing what was more important.  Maybe I’m a lot like Pooh Bear in that sense.

It’s also been on my heart lately to pay attention to how I am presenting myself to my children, my husband, and others.  Question to self:  are you behaving yourself in a manner that lines up with what you really believe?
