One Little Word 2010

My word for 2010 is SMILLE

My word for 2010 is MAKE. I need a good positive 'doing' word. It embraces creating but also purpose and choice - making a difference, making the difference, making a decision and making time and allowances.
2010 is my year for getting excited and making things :)

I cannot put into words the year that my family and I have had - even my extended family and friends. What I do know is this year my word has to be simplify. The definition of this is "absence of
complication." That is what I need this year more than anything in the world. I will strive to SIMPLIFY every day in every way.
Thank you!

I've been thinking about what my word for 2010 would be for a few weeks now. I had settled on "Balance" since I really need to find some amidst the many things pulling for my attention. But then, I was catching up on blog reading today and came across a post on MckMama that has changed my mind. In it, she writes about "who you are when no one is looking" and so much of the post resonated with me. But there's one line, in which she writes about bringing two elements of her life into "better harmony" and my heart literally skipped a beat at reading the word "harmony" It sounds so cheesy, but I instantly knew that it had to be my word. So, 2010 will be the Year of Harmony for me. The definition I'm going with is: "A pleasing combination of elements in a whole" So very perfect!

I finally came up with my word, and it's HOPE.
Happy New Year to you and your family Ali. Your blog is wonderful, such an inspiration. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us in 2010!

I love this idea! My word for 2010 will be "joyful" - I want to learn to be joyful in all things, no matter what's going on around me.

My word for 2010 is "Change"! I have a lot of things changing for me and change is not always easy for me. So I am greeting it head on this coming year and will make the best of all the changes ahead of me.

My word for the coming year is Believe. I need to believe in myself, that I am good, that I can accomplish what I set out to do and also to believe that God will provide for me and lead me in the right direction. If something doesn't work out how I had envisioned, to accept that, knowing that God is working in my best interests. So I need to keep remembering to believe and not doubt.

My word for 2010 is "follow-through."
I am a starter... not a finisher. I have the best intentions but they tend to fall by the wayside. I am easily distracted... and well-meaning. Not intentionally flaky, but I am.
So this year, I plan on starting things, projects, habits... and KEEPING them. :)

My word for 2010 is EMBRACE. I can't believe how many times it has popped into my head over the last two days. What is means to me is that I will embrace the individual I am, my family, my friends, my work, my abilities, my gifts and blessings and of course my flaws!

My word is better. I'm new to your blog and as I read about one little word, this is the word that came to me, completely unbidden.
My family has suffered a dreadful 2009, what with one thing or another, and I sincerely hope and pray that 2010 will be BETTER.

My word is going to be consistency.

enjoy - i will try to enjoy the moment, the people, the glad tidings and those not so welcomed, enjoy. Joie de vivre.

I think my word is SUSTAIN. I have been attracted to many - prosper (!), fearless, nourish, create, etc. but think I want to encourage myself in ways that I can sustain over the long haul. I have two sons in high school and want to maintain a wonderful relationship with them as well as prepare for any surprises life sends my way. I have my hands in many pots, so want to figure out how to maintain and sustain a healthy, vital life.

Ok - my one word for 2010 is ORGANISATION! I NEED to get my life, home & work organised and this WILL be the year!
Do I sound convinced LOL???

Ali - My word for 2009 was journey and it really defined the year. Have been thinking about my word for 2010 over the past few days and want to go with CREATE. I want to create more original work: quilts, scrapbooking albums, little books, ATCs, mixed media pieces, photos, drawings, and anything else I can imagine!
Thanks for all the inspiration,
Mary

My word last year was "AWAKE"-awake to the many blessings in my life, awake to the simple things in my life that I miss every day due to distraction, busyness, etc.. This year, my word is "FLOURISH". I want to live in such a way that I will flourish spiritually, physically, artistically, relationally and mentally so that ultimately I might be a blessing to others.

After a lot of pondering I think I have decided on Gratitude= Grateful + attitude - I definately want to be thankful and present in my daily life for all my blessings. Last year was be happy and 08 was simplify. I think I will keep a gratitude journal and am planning an inspired art project to hang in my home as a friendly reminder. Thank you for continueing to inspire and challenge me. I am grateful!

**DO**
After much deliberation (lol) I have decided my word for this year is DO, as in stop thinking about it and start doing it!

Thanks for this!!

I teach junior English and would love to borrow your lesson plan. Sounds like a great way to kick off the new semester next Monday!

My word is ME. As a mother of two preschoolers I don't find time, do a lot of the things or have the energy for what I want to do. I think I will be a better person if I take time to focus on ME in 2010.
Thanks for challenging and inspiring me.

I can't remember if I added my word here or not...
2010 for me....is FEARLESS
for all I plan to do.... fulfilling dreams and embracing all that life has to offer..... my 39th year of life I want to live it to the fullest!
