Words to focus on!

Aside from family, my focus lately has seemed strangely off. Yes, this could be blamed on upcoming significant changes that are about to take place in my life. In the very near future we have a BIG change coming our way, but it is rather a few other upcoming changes that have me bowled over. I can't think of how many times I've moved to a new place and said "I hope I stay here atleast a couple years!" Let me tell you--since the age of 18 I have never lived any one place for more than a whole year...and well, I've only done that twice. Rather I tend to roll with the punches quite easily and I hate to admit it but I've moved 14 times in 7 years.

Our focus is about to shift to our growing family and after some of the upcoming changes take place i need to buckle down on some concepts I've struggled to grasp over the last 7 adult years! I love words and went straight for my favorite place: the dictionary to supplement and rather push home a few ideas. All in all they come down to one great idea, I think a little consistency would do all of us some good!

We need to focus on our growing family, our health, and our financial freedom and perhaps a little study of these words and concepts is just the ticket. Let the focus begin. In the meantime--look forward to some upcoming changes--after all they may be it for awhile. We kept everyone on their toes long enough, now it is time for reliability!
