As I considered what word to choose for my one word for 2013, many words came to mind. Cherish, rest, order, simple, balance…And many more. I looked around on the internet for ideas. And I prayed to figure out a good word to help me grow this year. I slept on it, ruminated on it. There’s so much I want to work on. It was really difficult finding or discovering that one word for 2013. But I realized that when I truly stop and work on relaxing and pray and meditate on having peace of mind, all the clutter inside and around me becomes less overwhelming. Worry is replaced by productive action, writing, and problem solving. I start to remember again what’s important. The peace usually does not come easily, so I know I need to work at it. For that reason, peace is my one word for 2013.
