Intention

This is my first year in which I will choose one word that I will focus on. The word I have choosen is intention. After the year I had last year, I want to do everything with intention. When thinking of a word, I wanted to find one that I would help me to become the person I want to be but also help me with the areas in my life that are going well. I plan to work toward doing all things in my life with intention. Will this be easy? No. There will be challenges along the way and I am sure I will not achieve all things being done with intention but I will try to begin to see things with that in mind.

I looked up the word intention and the following is a list of words that are synonyms for it. I also looked up intentional, so that I would have words that are describing too. Here goes the list: aim end plan prearranged deliberate purpose goal mission objective idea design hope resolve meaning view scope desire dream expectation ambition intent destination direction scheme prospective proposal target aspiration tenacity constancy persistence determination faith propose considered plan

With all that, here is to a year filled with intention!

January 11th

It snowed again last night and this time a lot! Therefore today-no school!! This could be a good thing but then again when we get to June and I want to be out of school I will be unhappy that we are still going to school because of the snow. this is the fourth day that we now have to make up and it looks as though we might not have school tomorrow either.

So what is the thing to do on a snow day? If you are a kid-play, run, throw snowballs, make snowmen and snow angels-but as an adult-nothing fun. Last night my dad and I went on a walk while it was snowing. It was great. I wish it would snow regularly so that I can go on walks, it is so peaceful, everything white and bright. There were a few kids playing the neighborhood but for the most part it was very peaceful. I do love walking in the snow especially at night.

But today Amy, the truly wonderful sisiter, and I have been sitting at home doing nothing. We made yummy french toast this morning, french toatst-my favorite thing! Then we have been watching TV, now Phil is on, it's a sad one. Amy has been sick with the sniffles so I am trying to keep my distance-but you know how sisters are . . . now she wants to watch old family videos. sounds like fun but we don't have a VCR. guess I will go now so that we can figure out what to do.
