What's Your Word for the Year?

What's your word for the year?
That ever so inspirational word that is going to change life as you know it?
So, do you want to hear mine? Try.
That's it. Just try. Just try and get out of bed, try to get dressed and leave the house. Just try and do anything that feels too hard.

Sometimes, it's the little things that are the hardest. Getting out of bed, taking a shower. Things like that. Things that I think are taken for granted, and not in the sense of "there are people all over the world without clean water!" kind of taken... but the "wow! that's lame and super easy, you're just lazy." kind of way.

Honestly, I spent the last two weeks on vacation with my kids and hubby. We did NOTHING. Well, that is not entirely true. We spent 8 days on vacation visiting family and friends, and then came home and did NOTHING for the rest of the Christmas break. We vegged, only got dressed when we had to, only went out when we had to. You get the gist!! Now, most people would look at that and think, "wow! lazy much??!" But when you hate the holidays because of the up/down that comes with stress.. well lazy is a necessity sometimes.

If anyone remembers last year, Christmas was horrid. I spent almost all of break in bed depressed as bad as it gets. *Thank You Bi-Polar Disorder* I was horrified I would ruin Christmas for my kids, and that all made it even worse. And all that was the downward spiral from what was the fabulously high *insert sarcasm here* that was a wicked manic phase. Did I say "thank you" yet Bi-Polar?
Honestly, I hate the holidays from Turkey day to Christmas.. life sucks ass. However, in a completely selfish plan to avoid some of the up-down I forced everyone to "cancel" Christmas and go on a trip instead. We did fun stuff, we played with family; hit up Knott's, etc. I am already planning for next year.. I'm thinking cruise!

But I digress, I like my word. Try. Something so simple, yet so complex. It seems like it would be easy to "try" but in all honesty, it's probably the hardest thing in the world. So, tell me your word to live by this year. What are you going to strive for?
