Definition: knowing or realizing; conscious; informedBe aware ...
... of my sorroundings.
... of what brings me happiness.
... of what is important in my life.
This word means a lot to me. I feel that at times I am fully aware of what is truly important to me and other times I am going through the motions... hurrying up just to wait... living life on autopilot... I want to avoid this feeling which brings me no happiness and just leaves me wondering where the day went. I feel that this word goes along well with my resolutions as well.
Now I have just have to find a quote that I like that is associated with this word so I can order my doodle from Stephanie!
Have you picked a word yet?
PS - Check out my new blog header! How cute is that little birdie on the right? I know... incredibly cute! The one on the left has hearts for wings... seriously, I am in love with this header. :-)

"The aim of life is to live, and to live means to be aware, joyously, drunkenly, serenely, divinely aware."
— Henry Miller
Okay - I have my quote but not my word lol.
Here is my quote:
"Anxiety does not empty tomorrow of its sorrows, but only empties today of its strength."
- Charles Haddon Spurgeon
I want my word to be something that says "It's okay" or "Let it be" I think my word should be "breathe" or "strength" IDK I keep coming back to "Be" My quote isn't necessarily positive either...hmmph. But it really touches me. I waste sooo much time worrying!!!!
Which brings me back to "breathe" lol. My panic attacks have been MUCH closer together lately. Remember when I was home I was feeling like my chest was heavy? It's been like that off and on for at least two weeks. Lately I've been wishing I could take something for on the spot anxiety because I feel like it gets that bad that quickly but FOR NO REASON!!!!
PS - Joyce told me the COOLEST thing today - remind me to tell you about the point system she uses.
PPS - I think I might spend the night tomorrow night if that's okay. (It's actually tonight because it's 12:22am but when the blog actually posts it's going to say something like 9:08pm due to abacus time.)
PPSS - I love you
Either the abacus is working double time or I just took FOREVER writing all of that! (Well, finding a good quote specifuckly about anxiety took a long time.)
- I don't need my own blog...I can just use yours.
PPPSS (This is why my name is Mouche) - I printed out envelopes today - with the addresses already on them...and I've already gone through 100 envelopes. I still have 57 addresses waiting to print. Basically if somebody ever jay-walked in front of me they are getting a letter saying "you are my friend so please help us." Then again, that's what you get for not using the crosswalk.
OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! You will NEVER believe what I just did!!!!!!!! Wow! TWO brave things in 2009! Can you believe it?
I just sent this as a private message to Jason Levasseur through facebook:
"Hi Jason!
I'm not sure if you have a bajillion screaming fans asking you questions like this all the time but I've just spent hours sending out fund raising letters and it's 1am. I figure since you're in Mexico maybe you're tipsy while reading this so my chances of you saying yes are just a little bit better...lol
My sister-in-law and I are walking 39.3 miles in the Avon Walk for Breast Cancer in May. This will be our second year participating and in order to walk we have to raise at least $3600.00 between the two of us. Breast Cancer affects all of us in some way or another. Three million women in just the United States alone have Breast Cancer. This is a very important cause for me and was wondering if you would be interested in sponsoring me?
If you aren't interested I'll still be a big fan, I just might not be able to participate in the walk... :'-( lol WOW that was kind of mean of me huh? j/k
Anyway, I see you're coming to Manchester on April 29th. I can't wait!
I'll def see you there!
Hope to hear from you soon,
Amanda"
WOW!!! I don't know what my word is yet but whatever it is...it's working!
Last one -
I just realized after all this time...that I probably should have sent some of those, if not all of them, through email instead of wasting your valuable comment space. I'm not sure why I didn't think of that before.
I took a sleeping pill and you know what? It's worfdjal;kgjag;;;;;;;
My word is "Breathe". I'm with Amanda on this one. I need something that can keep reminding me to stop worrying and appreciate where I am at that moment. When I start to get annoyed with wedding stuff, just breathe, and enjoy it. When I get overwhelmed with moving, just breathe, and get excited. I think it'll work for me. No quote yet, but the simple "Just Breathe." might work well :) I love this idea Sam!
Yay for breathing and kissing menus!
*whatever those are*
Haha, I keep forgetting to tell you. I saw this idea for a kissing menu on a blog. So you know how at weddings when people want the bride and groom to kiss they clink their glasses? Well I find that really annoying, especially after people have been drinking and think it's hilarious to do every 2 minutes. So each table will have a kissing menu, and if people want us to kiss they will have to choose one of the things on the menu to do. Each thing will be carefully chosen to embarass the individual who wants us to kiss (i.e. serenading us). I think it'll make for some fun times :)
