My word for the year 2012

Each year I try to come up with a word to focus on and think about. In 2010 the word was FAMILY. In 2011 the word was CHANGE.

Now, for 2012 the word for the year is POSITIVITY

I don't know what it is, but I really can't stand negativity, complaining, or what sounds to be ungratefulness coming from someone around me (especially when it's a friend or family member or MYSELF). Now, don't get me wrong ... There is a time to lament and get some frustration out HOWEVER, I want to stay positive and focus on the good rather then engage in negativity. This is going to be a daily effort on my part. To catch myself when I begin to look at the negative rather then focus on all of my blessings and the positive. I have a whole year to perfect it (kinda perfect it ... OK, I mean work on it). I have so much to be thankful for. I have so many blessings to count and acknowledge. I don't want to waste time in my life that I can NEVER get back complaining about negative things, people, or people's actions. When something challenging presents itself ... I want to be positive. When I'm struggling ... I want to remember all of the positive in my life. When I am around negativity ... I want to be able to have the strength to recognize it and not take part in it.

Life is good ... and I want to be Happy and Grateful because I am so truely blessed beyond measure.
