Word Project

I made a quiche today. It was as I filled the pie plate with all my lovely ingredients, that the word technology popped into my head because I thought wow, a whole minute without it.

I have a word today. I've had it since the middle of the night although I didn't know it then. It's when I found myself repeating it over and over to myself this morning that it revealed itself as the word that was going to stick with me.

My word today is an action, a brain-body connection. Jumpingjacks, and yes, I made it one word. I made up the game so I make up the rules. I'm going to do ten jumpingjacks every hour.

I have this brilliant habit journal that helps me stay on track with the things I want to accomplish, but then if I miss something, I get bent like a pretzel and fall into an abyss of "why bother." Which, ironically, is so perfect for the fact that today's word was "perfect".

It's a new year, a new document, a new day. Same old me. Although not quite. They say you never step in the same river twice. So as cliché as it may sound, my word for the day is: new. Not in a "new new" way, but more in an "old stuff seems new and shiny" way, like it does every year.
