WORDS to live by

I intended to make this post at the beginning of the year.. to start the year off with  a fresh start, but as most of you know I have had some curve balls thrown my way this month. On one of the blogs I follow there was a list of words people had chosen, each person chosing just one. I couldnt pick just one so I picked a few words that really stand out and hope to incorporate them into my life.. I have narrowed it down to CONSERVE, MANAGE, SIMPLIFY and CHERISH.
CONSERVE- my negative thoughts about people, and situations that are out of my control. Be more conservative with our finances. Conserve my time, making room for the most important things first.

MANAGE- my time more wisely and my family activities fitting in more time for each other.. I hope that is possible with everyone going differerent directions all the time! Manage our finances and concentrate on NOT spending as much on frivolous things. I don't go on huge shopping sprees and expensive items frequently, but need tocut back and save more.. Going to be a challenge for sure!

SIMPLIFY- try to live a more simple life, cut back on unecessary things. Sorry but girl trips are NOT part of things I intend to cut out. They are a necessity so I can regroup and regain my sanity.  Clean out the cluter in my house. I want a very clean and simple house. Ok I may be asking too much in this area considering I live in a house with ALL boys..

CHERISH- very simply make the time, take the time to cherish those I love- family and friends, and the hobbies that I enjoy.

Life here on Earth is very brief and I want to make sure that I spend every moment making the best of it, CONSERVING and MANAGING my time more wisely, doing my best to live a more SIMPLE life and CHERISH each day that I wake up..

So what words or ways do you all hope to live by this year or things you may want to change??
