The Cycle of Life is Movement, isn't it?

Here's a picture of me with Kate (of Pete and Kate) and brand new Baby Zeke. 5 days old here. 

He was born on December 20th. Beautiful baby boy!

And in the same year,

L.T. Howells died on 4/8/09

A.R. Broaddus was born 8/11/09

R. Scholes, (Derek and Julie's grandpa) died 12/15/09

B. Robinson, (Stacy's father) died 12/21/09

Ruminations of Word of the Year

I've been thinking about your concept of word of the year...

and I keep coming back to one word, which is really a gut reaction. 

And I'm not sure that it's the word that I really WANT to choose. But that word is:

Movement

It comes from a place of feeling; of treading water in life. I have not had movement because of a balancing act I'm in. Balancing what I know I'm capable of, and what my priorities are at any given moment. Makes sense, really. Balancing, treading water, waiting, seeing. All lead to lack of movement.

And then, in the same breath, I should say that making any conscious choice is movement, isn't it? it's not passive. It's just not forward necessarily. Forward Movement. That's two words. Does that count? :-)

The pondering continues.
