Theme for 2007

If you could think of one sentence to describe your theme for next year, what would it be?

Mine is..."Get out of my way". I don't want anything or anyone to hold me back from what I want to accomplish physically, mentally, etc.

ooo, Charlotte, good question. I'd say mine is "Don't worry, be happy." I'm determined to lick anxiety this year, and enjoy things as they come.

My life is a mixture of reggaes and tangos
Taste for the good life, I can live it no other way

Mine would be "This Will be Our Year" a song by the Zombies. My husband played it on New Year's Eve of 2003 because 2002 had been so awful. While we were still in mourning over 9/11/01, my dad, who had been waiting for a heart transplant for 5 months, died during the operation; my husband's mom died of cancer two months later; and my husband's 15-year-old business had to be sold. He played that song for me and told me that it would HAVE to get better. And it did.

Unfortunately, our 2006, if not worse than 2002,comes pretty close. So, that song will have to be my theme again.

This Will Be Our Year
Album: Odessey & Oracle


The warmth of your love
is like the warmth of the sun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come

don't let go of my hand
now darkness has gone
and this will be our year
took a long time to come

and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on

Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
took a long time to come

The warmth of your smile
smile for me, little one
and this will be our year
took a long time to come

You don't have to worry
all your worried days are gone
this will be our year
took a long time to come

and I won't forget
the way you held me up when I was down
and I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on

Now we're there and we've only just begun
and this will be our year
took a long time to come

Yeah we only just begun
yeah this will be our year
took a long time to come
 
hmmm, I think I have a couple:

Unwritten

I am unwritten,
Can't read my mind
I'm undefined
I'm just beginning
The pen's in my hand
Ending unplanned

Staring at the blank page before you
Open up the dirty window
Let the sun illuminate the words
That you could not find
Reaching for something in the distance
So close you can almost taste it
Release your inhibitions
Feel the rain on your skin
No one else can feel it for you
Only you can let it in
No one else, no one else
Can speak the words on your lips
drench yourself in words unspoken
Live your life with arms wide open
Today is where your book begins
The rest is still unwritten

I break tradition
Sometimes my tries
Are outside the lines
We've been conditioned
To not make mistakes
But I can't live that way

You gotta be: (probably my fave song of all time)

Listen as your day unfolds,
challenge what the future holds
Try to keep your head up to the sky
Lovers they may cause you tears
Go ahead release your fears
Stand up and be counted,
don't be shamed to cry
You gotta be..

You gotta be bad, you gotta be bold,
you gotta be wiser
You gotta be hard, you gotta be tough,
you gotta be stronger
You gotta be cool, you gotta be calm,
you gotta stay together.
All I know, all I know
Love will save the day

Herald what your mother said
Read the books your father read
Try to solve the puzzleS
in your own sweet time
Some may have more cash than you
Others take a different view

Time asks no questions, it goes on without you
Leaving you behind if you can't stand the pace
The world keeps on spinning, can't stop it if you tried to
The best part is danger staring you in the face

This %$^#%Q%^$^(%^) year couldn't possibly be worse than 2006.

Gosh I'm feeling negative today..........:eek:
 
I certainly hope not, but I try not to say it out loud because I always fear that maybe it can;( ;) !

Was it something in the stars or what?
 
This Charlotte wants to share the other Charlotte's theme - GET OUT OF MY WAY. Perfect!! Our 2002 was so awful that our theme on New Year's Eve that year was, "Screw 2002." 2003 was better, but 2006 stinks!! Sounds like it was a pretty universally stinking year for some of the rest of you!x( So, in 2007 I plan to take charge of many aspects of our family's fate and everyone will need to GET OUT OF MY WAY!!:7
 
Actually, Charlotte...no one ever gets in my way. However, "I" get in my own way. So, for me it would have to be "GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY".;) deb
 
"Live and Let Go"

I get anxiety when plans don't go perfectly or we don't make it to something on my agenda or I don't get an item crossed off my "TO DO" list....I need to let go of that and realize i can only do so much and be proud of what I do accomplish on a daily basis....and I need to learn to live in the moment and quit planning for the next event before I am done with the current one.
 
I like that Reba...I'm the same way. I should adopt that Theme and try to remember it in the coming month. I'm moving into a new house with my SO in February, but we're out of our current one on Dec 31st so we can housesit for his parents. Life will be chaotic and out of order for awhile for me (living out of suitcases etc.), and it's gotten me so anxious!! I need to stop worrying about everything and just live for now and take in everything calmly! yeah right.x(x(

"I think I can... I think I can... I think I can..."

2006 has been a year of major ups and major downs, all at once. 2007 is all about change and finally moving on with my life, and I'm insecure about my abilities in general life. I'm going to be leaving home to move in with a wonderful man and leave the state for school, FINALLY getting on with my education, teaching for the first time at my college. I'll be a first-time auntie :D. It's going to be a major year, I think.
 
My theme comes straight from P90X: Just do my best....and forget the rest!!!

Applicable for so many things in my life.

Your posts are making me maudlin. Must move on and read less emotional posts.

Cheers,
Sandra
 
So many things come to mind. But I think I'll take "It is time" from Rafiki in Lion King. Simba got to play around a lot, and run away from reality, but when Rafiki said "it is time", Simba had to step up to the plate, grow up and face his responsibilities. This will be my year of growing up and facing those things I've been most afraid of. And hopefully finding out they're not so scarey! ;)

So, for 2007, IT IS TIME.

I have themes that get me by year after year! They are:

Treat others as I would like to be treated.
I can do anything once.
Look at things in a positive light - the glass is always half FULL in my view.

I find the "get out of my way" theme interesting, if a bit combative. Do others really get in your way? How?
