One Word

I saw this on Amber's Blog, and I decided to check out this website...

I made a few resolutions in this a previous post, but as I sat writing this exact post earlier in the week, I was feeling sentimental, and I thought this would be a great thing for me.

My word... FORGIVENESS.

I need to let go of the all the wrongs I think have been done against me.  By letting these go, I am not only opening myself up for new relationships, and mending of previous hurts, but I am freeing myself from weights that hold me down.

So here is the list of specifics, people I am forgiving and letting go:
~My Dad: This has been going on for many years, and while he is trying, I have been guarding myself, just in case he disappears again.

~My Brother: I haven't seen or heard from him in over 6mos.  We were super close, and I don't know why we aren't anymore.  It makes me mad, but I know I have tried my best to keep communication open.

~J: We are doing so well, but I feel at times that I am scared and hold onto the past.  I worry that at moment the hat will drop and I will be back where I was 2yrs ago.

~P: I have alluded to this person, and the wrongs I did.  Well, I felt I was justified, as I was hurt.  I am letting go those hurts.  While he may never know this, I can't hold it anymore.

~"Friends": I have let a lot of people into my life.  Some are meant to be there, and there were a lot that were here only to teach me a lesson.  I miss some people, and while I am not the best friend either, I need to stop holding onto the anger I have for people who have "abandoned" me. 


Along with resolutions, what word are you using to focus your 2012???
