I was having a conversation with my son and he was in the middle of saying, "No more talk, this year it's all about..." That's when it hit me. ACTION is my word for the year. No more talking, overthinking and endless planning. BTW I love your point about expanding your spirit and not apologizing for being Pollyanna. I think I'm going to borrow that concept, too. After all, we Pollyannas have to stick together. ;-)Reese Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06522332142721434924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133132309124375119.post-5648614023836778012015-01-06T00:09:47.726-05:002015-01-06T00:09:47.726-05:00No, been diagnosed with early glaucoma.

So yay me....first it was just the left eye for four months, but as of today, the right eye decided to join in the elevated pressure 'fun'.

You gave me much to think about this year. My word for 2014 was "gratitude." Not sure of one for this year - maybe re-engage. I just finished a doctorate and it consumed me for the last year. Now it is time to re-engage with my life, my family, my friends and my faith.

I don't have a word for 2015 (might have to think about that), but it's freeing to think of allowing my inner Pollyanna to flourish instead of trying to hide her under a barrel.
