Word

I came across Heather's blog called  BlessedLittleNest on one of my blogging expeditions and I thought her idea of adopting a word for the year was an awesome idea. You can read about it here Word - Second Edition .



The word I want to focus on for 2011 is Cherish.
Here is the definition:

1. to hold or treat as dear; feel love for.

2. to care for tenderly; nurture.

3. to cling fondly to.

I’m focusing on cherishing the little things (and big things) in life.
The tragic event that took place in my hometown 4 miles from my home a few days ago has made me think about what is really important in life, so I want to:

 Cherish my daughter-
 I want to focus less on how much the house really needs to be cleaned or picked up and more on sitting on floor coloring and playing pretend with my 2 year old.

Cherish my husband and marriage-
I want to focus on making sure my husband feels cherished and want to make sure we spend quality alone time by having a once a month date night.
  
Cherish time with my family-
I want to enjoy every moment I get to spend with my family and to host a family dinner at our house once a month.
