One Little Word 2010

Thank you Diane. I just reviewed this website and am going to sign up! And I love Barb's word - persist. I may borrow that for myself!

My 2010 word is FOCUS...I am going back to school to get my BA, raising my family & expanding my business...so I think it's fitting :)

I Dont know if anyone has chosen my word but the last 3 years I have had some trials and tribulations and alot of changes in my life and I am currently not where I thought I would be three years ago but I am still here and making it and things are beginning to look up so my word for 2010 is BLESSED

My word for 2010 is "Progress". There are three areas of progress I want to make in 2010. I want to make progress with my scrapbooking this year. In 2009 we brought an old house we want to renovate and I'm looking forward to making progress on that. Also we are planning to add a purpose built Studio to the house. Exciting times ahead and lots of Progress to be made.

I'm still debating mine, but I'm liking HANDMADE. I won't make everything, but I'd like to have a better connection to the things my family and I eat, wear, and use. Even if it's adding embellishments to store-bought clothes, baking frozen pizza rather than ordering for delivery, etc. I want to be CONNECTED more.

My word for 2010 is FINISH. I need to finish my graduate degree program and finish a zillion other projects in my life that are half done and need to be finished. I'm hoping that FINISH will lead to SATISFIED.......

Hi there,
I've really enjoyed reading all the posts. I've thought a lot about my word for 2010. My word for 2009 was honesty, because I wanted to be more honest with myself.
For 2010 my word is balance. I'm always striving to find a balance between work and family and everything else, and that is a major goal for me for this year.
Looking forward to embracing the year ahead.

Thank you for this fantastic idea - i feel relieved I don't have to make another New Year resolution which I won't be able to achieve. My word is "Believe"
Happy New Year

My word for 2010 will be Flourish - I considered persevere, persist, and endure - but they all seemed a little too grim! 2009 saw the end of my 17 year marriage as well as the death of my father, so I am definitely in a different place starting this year off - I am resolved to not only endure and get through but blossom and thrive - so Flourish it is!

My word for 2010 has been lingering in my mind for about a month. I find myself focusing on it already. The word is LISTEN. Listen better to others, Listen to my heart and what it tells me, Listen without interrupting. This is a perfect word for me this year. Thanks for doing this every year!
By the way Ali, your daughter is just precious pushing her blocks! My son turns 11 tomorrow and I sometimes long for those little days - they go way too fast!

2010 word
"Really" as in REALLY! or Really? or, you get the point ,the word is so versatile.

I did this in 2008 but missed last year. I think for 2010 my word will be ACT ... not as in pretend but as in just do it ... I tend to procrastinate and lose my good intentions.

Colleen & Jamie, my word came to me tonight while I was putting my son to sleep. I had been so close, reaching for just the right thought. I had come up with a few words over the past couple of days but none of them were just right. Then, out of the quiet came "CHOOSE". That's it! So similar to yours I wanted to share! As you said Colleen I can choose...how to respond, what to say, what to eat, what to do, ... all year! Here's to our choices in 2010!

I love this idea! My word for 2010 is IMPROVE! I want to make some improvements in life. Mostly, my body, like many others out there, I want to lose weight. I've struggled with it for so long, but my daughter has been my biggest inspiration. I'm her role model, so I need to live the way I want to teach her to live. I also want to improve my scrapbooking and do some more creative projects (you're a big help in that area!). So, IMPROVE. Lots of good improvements coming my way for 2010!

My word for 2010 is BEST. I hate to admit it, but I tend to be lazy and not finish things I start. I want to start giving God--and everyone in my life--my very BEST in everything I do.

For 2009 my word was GROW. I gave birth to my first child in May (a little baby girl, Charlotte!) and I grew physically, but in so many other ways as well. I knew that I would have to grow into my new role as a mother.
My word for 2010 is RENEW. I want to renew my mind, but reading more and perhaps returning back to school. I want to renew my spirit, but going out and enjoying nature more. I want to renew my love for my DH, as having a child has tested us. I want to renew my heart, by offering more of my time and service to those in need. I have also decided to RENEW all my scrapping stuff, and have resolved to not make any scrappy purchases in 2010....this is going to be an intersting year!

I know it has been listed before but FOCUS will be my word for 2010.
As I was talking with my BFF tonight and told her 2009 was a blur-- it sounded like the perfect word for this coming year.

I am choosing my word based on what I want most right now: peace. Peace for my boys in their relationships, in their nightly dreams, in their days. Peace for us as a family and an end to the conflict that keeps getting thrust into the middle of things. Peace for me and the freedom to just breathe. All good things will come from peace in our lives this year, if we can get there.

My word is SERENITY
2009 was very stressful for a variety of reasons, and it didnt help that I tend to be one of those types who is always thinking and overthinking things either.
So in 2010 I need to create SERENITY in my life by learning how to relax more, learning how to play again and have fun doing it, creating more and not worrying about perfection. I need to be more committed to a budget and better about finances so I can feel SERENE about $$ where we stand every month. I need to be more organized and work on keeping the housework up so our home can feel more SERENE, and more relaxing for the whole family. I also need to be more SERENE as a person and not so worried all the time, because it really doesnt do me or anyone else any good if Im stressed all the time

After much thought our word for 2010 is ENJOY. Sometimes it feels like we are so busy just making it from wake up time to bed time with the little ones that we don't stop to truly enjoy the life we are living. There is so much to take in, relish, and be thankful for. I still can't believe my husband came up with the word. :)
