One Little Word 2010

I choose 'treasure.' Because I need to remember to treasure moments. Because I need to create treasures to honor those moments. And because it reminds me of The Goonies, which just makes me happy. :)

The word that picked me is awaken.

Ali,
I am so thankful you are so willing to share a bit of you with all of us! You are thoughtful and inspiring.
As I read what other woman said their word for the day was I wasn't sure what mine would be. Then a little voice said it would be TRUST. I need to have more faith that all aspects of raising children will be okay. The pressure of being a perfect parent is overwhelming. In 2010 I will have to let go a little and Trust more.
Happy New Year

My word for 2010 is "survive". I love what I found in the thesaurus: (verb) To exist in spite of adversity; come through; last; persist; pull through; ride out; weather..
That has been what my family has been doing all throughout 2009. Through the grace of God we will continue to survive throughout 2010.

my word for 2010 is ACTION.
i have so many ideas,
and i am continually inspired,
but what i've lacked so far is the doing part.
so no more excuses.
2010 is a year of ACTION!
ps. and that includes completing yesterday&today retrospectively ~ truly one of the best online classes i have done (and i've done a few!) and i sincerely hope you will be doing more online teaching in the near future. thanks for being so inspiring ali.

my word is PROMISE
...as in fulfilling "she had so much PROMISE when she was younger" and "I PROMISE I will keep my promises" - to myself especially

PULL! (I get it too!)

My word is STABILITY. It is something I and my family need so much right now with all of the chaos of late due to a move and also a new diagnoses for our son of cerebal palsy and possible aspergers. Thanks Ali for one word. :)

I've also decided to take part in this little tradition of yours. After much thinking, the only thing that kept coming back in my mind was GRATITUDE. I know I should feel grateful for a lot of things in my life, but I tend to focus more on what is going wrong or what should be improved.
This year I want to focus on what is good or beautiful in me or around me and celebrate it!

I want to TRANSFORM me into something better and improved...more accepting of things that cannot change, more patient with those around me, more forgiving when something doesn't go right, moving from "just" (don't really mean that, but I'm sure many of you know what I mean) a SAHM into one that uses her talents to further her happiness and contributes to the household and more aware of the other 4 wonderful people that make up our content family.

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.
