The word that chose me for 2012 is "Dwell." Dwell means to remain, to live or continue, to abide, to linger over, to keep the attention directed, and to reside. It is a place of rest. It is a special place.
My word dwell or its synonym continues to pop up in unexpected places. When I saw this sign on sale at Hobby Lobby I knew that it had to come home with me. It is displayed on our front porch. It says, "In our home let love abide (dwell), and bless all those who step inside."
This picture is of my husband and myself, our six kids, our daughter-in-law, two nieces, my sister-in-law and our dog. My brother was the photographer. The occasion was a fun filled evening when all of my children were home. My son, James, and his wife were visiting from Georgia. Brian came from upstate New York. I am surrounded by laughing family - right where I like to dwell.
Here is the list of Blog Hop participants. Visit them and share the fun.

Donna, so nice to 'see' you and share in the joyous words. That word 'dwell' IS showing up it seems in many, many places for me/us. Maybe because we're looking? listening?
Think I'll keep a look out for that Hobby Lobby sign...it'd look great on my porch.
Thanks for this post.
Love that sign! What a great post.
Love that sign - what a great reminder of what to aspire to as you walk in every day.
As for attack aunt - hmm I think my nieces/nephews occasionally think that with the cameras although they love looking at the resultant pages too.
Glad you joined in :)
Love the sign, adore the extended family photo. Those moments are what life is really all about.
You all look so joyfilled! I love how you say your word chose you and that you are doing so well.
