New Year's...Words and Numbers?

Happy New Year!
 (and new blog design - did you notice?)

Whoa. I can't believe that it's 2014 already!

Now, I'm not one for traditional resolutions. 

Lofty expectations like working out every day, losing 10 pounds, giving up sweet tea...

I like inspirations. Fun goals. Encouragement to live life to the full. 

But not promises to change. I don't like the pressure - and the reality that I'll likely fail. 

Many people are encouraging everyone to come up with a word to live by in 2014. 

A word that you'd like to define your year. 

For me, that word was easy. 

Abundant.

I want to live abundantly (John 10:10). 

Love abundantly. Laugh abundantly. Give abundantly. You get the point.

So, I made a few - realistic and attainable - goals to make 2014 abundant

and make the most of each moment.
