My OLW had not shown its face to me until I was reading through the list and comments. Over the years I have been purposefully growing as a person, each year trying to become better than the last and I had put some thought into what I wanted to improve on in 2013 but I didn't realize until just now that I want to RENEW myself in more ways that in years past. Thanks Ali and all for the inspiration to carry on.

Thanks so much for posting all the words in a nice list. I copied the list of words and pasted them onto a blank document, printed them and cut them into strips, each containing one word. I put the strips in a pretty box and will draw one out each day. I hope to use them as a journal prompt, consider them like I would a tarot card and or just keep awareness of that word for the day.

My word is 'obedience'. To follow the path and plans that God has for me, not mine.

I chose mindful too Erin. You mention all the things I want to be mindful of! I want to also be mindful of how I interact with family/friends and aim to be present.

Mine is Walk. As in walk the talk, walk with God, walk away from negativity, walk toward the light, and just get out and walk! My word came to me a couple months ago. And I Love my word. This is my third year with One Little Word! Last year's was Calm. It grounded me through my divorce and all the scary changes I went through. I can't say enough about how powerful it is to choose a word for the year. Peace to you!

My word is "sure". My husband passed away 2 years ago at a fairly young age. For 2 years I haven't done too much due to grieving, etc. When someone would ask if I wanted to do something, I usually said no because I just wanted to stay in my "comfort zone" at home.
This year, whenever anyone asks if I want to do something, I plan on saying a quick "sure." I need to get out and learn to live once again.
Replies
I love this. I think you might also find its alternate meaning, being certain, popping up for you. I'm so sorry for your loss, and I hope this year brings lots of new experiences and possibilities as you embrace "sure". Cheers!
