One Little Word 2010

peace

My word for the year....experience.....there was quite a list of them though!

I had chosen Accept for my word to the next year, but, when I reading your post, something came up inside me and found that the word I really need and want for my 2010 is Hope, hope for a better world, hope for we all do well, hope that God is always with me but sometimes I forget.

I love the word story and may just have to piggy back off of your idea. I want to create a daily album that records the little moments I want to remember all year. This is such a big year for us in 2010 because we will be adding a little boy to our family soon. That will complete our family and it would be a treasure to be able to record every little moment through a story. I began a journal of stories when my little girl was born a year and a half ago. I love it and continue to journal in there a few times each month. It will be a journal I'll pass on to her at some point in her life...college graduation or her wedding. It will be something she will treasure always, so for me, this year will be all about the story.

I couldn't decide between 2 words this year so I decided to have them both for 2010. Learn (less mindless tv & reading and more doing or reading something every day that I can learn from) and Live (live life with passion, live for today, live a healthy lifestyle etc)

my word for 2010 is INTENTIONAL. happy [almost] new year!

My word for 2010 is INVOLVED. There's so much in my world that I could be more INVOLVED in. I want to be more INVOLVED with my daughter, I want to be more INVOLVED with my husband, I want to be more INVOLVED with my passions (Scrapbooking, Decorating, Cooking, Organizing).
At the same time though, the word INVOLVED also says to me that I should slow down in order to INVOLVE myself. This year is going to be able spending a little more time getting INVOLVED.

My word is going to be FINISH!
as in finish what you started!
re: weight loss, college, bible studies etc.
I always seem to go right up until the last second an quit everything! So, this is going to be the year I finish everything, or follow through....is there a different word that would be better to say "finish"?!

i think my word this year will be "hopeful" . hopeful that my husband finds a job after being forced out of GM in october. hopeful that we don't lose our house. hopeful that we won't have to move out of state to get a job.
hopeful will get me/us through 2010...unscathed, hopefully. :)

I'm thinking my word this year will be "pause" but open to suggestions from this wonderful community!

My word for this coming year is persevere...
I has been unofficially for the past 2 years... but I need to make it more official, to help me continue through the difficult time we are having with trying to build our house. The bad just keeps getting worse and we need to persevere through like we have been. I have used my word for 2009 which was gratitude to get me through, but now more than ever I need perseverence!

I am going with Grace. I plan on getting rub on letters and spelling Grace on the wall in our mudroom for us to see the visual reminder everyday.

My word for 2010 is Steer.

My little word is going to be ENJOY.

My little word is going to be ENJOY.

I love that your word is STORY. I think it is a great approach to a new year, to dive in head first and look for all the bits to carry with you through the year, through your life, good & bad, to make your own story. I love it!
This year, my word is BALANCE. I would like to find a bit more in my life. It's funny how quickly the scales tip when you have so much going on, 4 children, 3 under the age of 3! And a house to maintain, a business in it's start-up phase, a new home, a new town, a lot of change... so BALANCE. I'd like to bring a bit more of it into my daily life, stir it together with the joys that are already there, and help bring out the true flavour and richness of it all!

I believe my 2010 word will be CONTENTMENT. It's something I have been struggling with in this past year in many areas of my life. Way past time to be still, to be content, not always wishing and hoping for more. Because, when I look in the faces of those I love, I am reminded that I already have it all.
Contentment.

Shannon,
I'm not sure about the etiquette of commenting to people's comments, but I APPLAUD your words! Good for you for making the commitment to lose and replace!!!

EXPERIENCE. I'm done with STUFF, as in I've shedding my attachment to it and want instead to focus my energies towards experiencing life. At the same time, I'd like to document those experiences with thoughtful and intentional journaling and photographs.

my word for 2009 was "believe"...it helped me so much!
i got a tattoo of my word this past summer. my word for 2010 is "cherish". i want to cherish every moment and every person in my life. thanks ali...for inspiring all of us!
