What's new

One Little Word? Have you?

I'm not sure if it makes sense. But my word is YES - as in saying yes to new things (rather than deciding that I might not like it and declining) I have said yes to a couple of things this past month (against my better judgement) and have had amazing positive experiences as a result. I over think everything. Maybe yes isn't the right word? But you get my general thinking hopefully!
 
Wow I absolutely love all your words! I really feel that 2020 is going to be our year ladies, and these little goals can only help focus our forward motion! Thank you so much for sharing this with me .... it means a lot xx
 
SHINE...."Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." (Matt 5:16). And in order to shine I hope to maintain good health and look for ways to serve my family, friends and community better this year.
 
I think I thought about this a week or two ago, but maybe not - tbh my brain has been so stuffed with good and bad the last two weeks it's a day's wonder than I can remember my name right now.

At any rate I'm thinking about it now - and kind of fussing about it because there are so many choices: faith, believe, determination, I Will (which is two words but I'm a rule breaker like that), thrive, discover ....

Hmm, I need to think on this.
 
I've thought about it off and on over December, but it wasn't until last night that the right word has settled.
Purposeful.
I want to be purposeful in my memory keeping.
I want to be purposeful with finances.
I want items in my house to be purposeful.
I want to be purposeful (using the version: intentional) in my relationships this year.

So, Purposeful.

I don't usually do OLW but as I was reading a book this morning a word came to me and it stuck with me and I think it's going to be my word/goal for the year.
Kind
I tend to be a take control, get things done kind of gal which isn't necessarily a bad thing but sometimes I can run people over just to get things done...especially with my children or hubby. If I get all these things done, serve others, or do amazing things but don't do it with kindness it's pretty worthless. Know what I mean?
So, I'm actually going to add that word to my goal list for 2020.

I went with Foundation.
Not for it's primary meaning of being the lowest load bearing part of a building, but rather it's secondary meaning of an underlying basis or principle.
In many ways I feel like the stage has been set and I am keen to see where to from here.
As an empty-nester this is the beginning of the next season of life, just hubster and me and spiritually I am feeling like I am ready to build up and see who I am supposed to be, when I am no longer a SAHM.
But just me, wife, scrapbooker, photographer and friend.

I can relate. We got off to a rocky start as EN's due to some circumstances beyond our control, and then we made bad call to move here when DS & DIL just weren't ready. NOW we are ready to "burn the ships" ( in a good way) and step into a new day. We had to restructure our foundation first. Good new year to you!!!
 
I hadn't really planned on it but LESS is mine. I considered Enough but that leads to too much waffling (for me). I''ve done a good bit of physical clean out of my home but I can see the next step leading to former choice of 'white space'. Mental, physical and spiritual. 75 became a big turning point for me on that path.
 
Mine is create! And that's one of the reasons I'm inspired to scrapbook again! But I want to create all sorts of things, not just crafts and things for my business, but more abstract things like abundance, wellness, friendships and so much more!
 
I didn't have one but in reading your choices and why, I have decided on Nourish. From Proverbs 10:21: The lips of the righteous nourish many.

May all my words bring nourishment to others.
 
I don't do OLW because i don't need another project to stress me out, lol. I admire all of you that pick one year after year.
 
It is my word of the last 5 or 10 years. I have completely taken it to heart.and in 2020, it fits the best; VISION
It is a bible verse I hold too:
Proverbs 29:18(KJV)
18 Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.
