I finally finished my list for the year.
As you can see I chose the word surrender.
Not because I wanted to,
but because it keeps coming up
over and over.
In all areas of life.
Art.
Work.
Parenting.
Marriage.
Everywhere.
So I thought I should listen.
I love making these lists.
I love new beginnings.
Even though life can get so busy and rushed.
I can go through the year without really doing what I want to do.
Without living how I want to live.
Just making this list
reminds me to live with intention.
It reminds me of who I am and how I want to live.
Even when life gets busy.
I know that I won't get every little thing crossed off.
That's not the point.
The point is to remember to have fun.
And to live the life I really want to live.
