Pick a word, any word

Well, not any word.

Some of you might remember that my word for 2013 was "solace." Actually, I had two, "solace" and "serenity." Solace I've been working on, and have had to some small degree. Serenity is beyond my reach at this stage of the game.

So I want a word for 2014.

About a month ago, even less, I'd have said "gratitude." I even found a sweet little graphic that I printed out for my office space and also for my front door:

However, after my little "chat" with my boss just before our Christmas break, in the aftermath of the move and reorg, I've decided that "gratitude" isn't quite the word I want for 2014.

"Stuff it up your *ss, I quit" is more than one word, and will achieve only bankruptcy and ruin in general, as will "F**k off, I don't need this sh*t."

So I want a word that encompasses learning to take a deep breath and to step back, not take every single thing so personally, and just let the crap go.

"Perspective" is the only word that comes to mind. "Attitude" is a good word too, but in my case, my attitude is pretty lousy right now, so I'll take a pass on that.

Any suggestions? One catchy word?

Maybe "perspective" really is it--to remind myself that I won't be thinking about work/coworkers/neighbours/etc. when I'm lying on my death bed.

BTW, the above poster? I read it as "no where" of course.  :-p

How about this? I remember reading this quote some years ago and really being struck by it:

Or maybe this little one has it right:

On the other hand, perhaps I just need some sleep. (True enough!)

Ideas? Suggestions? I'm never going to have a personality that lets things slide, like water off a duck's back as the expression goes. But I won't survive long at the office now if I can't learn to let things go, not take everything so seriously.

Purrs from the boys and peace from me.
