One Little Word ... 2010.

A friend shared with me the fact that each year she chooses a word by which to direct her life. A theme, if you will. I love the idea and so beginning in November I began thinking about what my word should be. Right away I knew I needed a VERB. Active, not reactive. Something that would inspire and motivate but without the 'should' attached. I believe that people fail at resolutions so often because they choose things which have that word attached, and which easily result in guilt. Based on that I quickly tossed the word 'organize' which was top of my list. (I need to get organized.) I then tossed 'simplify' because in my mind I defined it similarly to 'organize'. Next I considered and tossed 'be', which felt a bit too existential. In the end, I have chosen the word 'DO'. I want to be present in my choices and active in my life. "DO' seems to fit.
