"To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." 
                                                                                                         Oscar Wilde-
                                                                            
Call it a mid-Mom crisis:  I don't want to simply exist!

I was made for more than existing... weren't you?
Or to quote Ginny Owen’s song: "I was made for more than breathing..."  weren't you?
 
My "word" for 2015 is "ponder."  So I decided: Why not "ponder/blog" how I'm living? Ponder adverb after adverb after adverb, and, in fact, resolve to not simply exist, resolve to not simply breath, but resolve to live!

Live HOW?
Live: Humbly
Live: Simply
Live: Fully
Live: Presently

Seems simple enough, maybe even silly. Similar to the good ole school days when you had to look a word up in the dictionary (explore), understand its meaning (expand), and then use it in a sentence (engage). 

{explore - what-what the word means}
{expand - spiritually, practically, what the word means to me}
{engage - in light of this discovery, let's do something!} 

I suspect I’ll gain a fresh new perspective of these words as they are "pondered" in a new light, in the light of how to live  - my hope is you will too!
