To live YOUR best life you must fit all the pieces together in such a fashion. Since I have no job or schedule to maintain now, I think I can work on the softer side of living... That's my aim. Hope your holidays were splendid and you had a lovely birthday!

I am almost ashamed to see your list of words that are so gentle - the only word I pinned down for 2014 is "efficiency". Sounds almost heartless - but it is what I want this year. To you my very best wishes and a Happy New Year!

Patience has often been difficult for me, too. Working for so many years with young children taught me there was a time and place where patience was the only answer. I hope you find a place of inner peace to sustain you when patience is in short supply. Thank you for taking time to visit and comment. Peace be with you in 2014.

I would add “be patient” and “don’t get frustrated” to mine as I need to be, more and more (my husband has been diagnosed with onset Alzheimer.)
