it’s my turn now…

my turn....

my turn....

ok.  I have read lots of your favorite words, so it is time to add MINE just for good measure.  :)  (and I may even have more later)

It is a GIVEN that I love the word “Simplicity”.   It needs no additional explanation in my world.

A few other favorites:

Harmony: I like “Harmony” in my world also.  I strive to keep it in the house.  My kids roll their eyes, when I use it.   i.e.  ”Just overlook (         ) to keep harmony” but secretly, I think they like the word too.  haha

Balance: I love “Balance” in my work, home life and family life.  If a certain area of my world is out of balance, you will more than likely know about  it.   I try to keep things “balanced” in our home.  Some days are easier than others.   There was once a skit at our church about spinning plates, trying to keep them all going at the same time, without any of them crashing to the ground.  I will never forget it.  I find the less “plates” I have spinning at once, the more balance our lives seem.   Therefore I know very well how to say the next favorite word.

No: I say it very well and I know WHEN to say it.  This is not the word NO in a diciplinary way, but in a way when I know I have had enough, or simply do not feel the need to be OBLIGATED to something.   Some people have a very hard time knowing when to use the word NO.  I do it very well.  If you feel out of “balance”,  and not finding complete “Harmony” in your life , maybe the word NO is what you need to say to a few requests?    Remember, life is not about seeing how thin you can spread yourself.

Just a thought.    :)

****  I am very pleased with the responses so far to the “Favorite word” post.  But ……there are alot of lurkers out there, that I just KNOW have words to share with me.  Please do so. I appreciate it as well as the kind folks at Henkel will too.    If you have submitted a word, and want to add another, feel free to.  I will add your name in that many times  (just don’t go overboard, like adding 100 extra words!!!!)  haha.  Just trying to cover my bases here.  :)    I feel any input each of you have is worthy of another shot of the winnings.  I have seen some familiar names, and some new ones too in the comment section.  I will generate the drawing from any related post for the YEARS SUPPLY giveaway!!!!   add your comments NOW.
