Word for 2013

That is my word. 

I have spent so much time preparing to do things later..

missing out on now.

I've spent so much time refinishing furniture for two shows a year and putting off playing with kids.

I've spent so much time thinking of what to do instead of doing.

That is over.

I plan on capturing now, being in the now, participating in the now.

I want to see the kids do all their things.

I want to enjoy life as it happens.

I want to capture a more calm household- less clutter.

I want to capture better health by following my diabetes regime strictly.

I want to capture a better body by being active. 

To sum it up- 

I want to CAPTURE life. 

To do this some things must change and it involved some tough decisions. 

There is only so much time in a day and so much of it was being used to do projects for two yearly shows, then storing them for the date.  

Tattered & Timeless the business, well she is done.  

No more furniture refinishing for sale.  

The only ones will be for my house or a friend here or there. 

No more sales or big events- sorry Cameron Street Fair.

No more consigning at stores.

That's not to say that creating will cease.  I could not survive with out a creative outlet.

But now, I get to create for my home and my family.

I can actually finish some much put off projects and I can start teaching my daughter in all the aspects of crafting and do so with her.

We have a move coming up in June so I'll have a new abode to play with. 

 It will be military base housing which is the same as a rental so it will be a whole new adventure for us.  

We have not had to ask anyone permission to do what we want in our house for over a decade.

This will be a challenge but one that should be fun.

So, CAPTURE.

Yes, I plan to capture all of life this year and not just watch it happen but be a part of it. 

Here's to a great 2013.

what is your word?
