One Little Word?

2014 was bigger on the inside.

LOVE THAT! I was wondering where you went with it. Travel? Escape? But I love the bigger on the inside theme. That's awesome. And this Whovian nerd loves it.
 
Last year my olw was "family" -- it was a particulary difficult year (my dad passed away)
This year, I'll go with Rejoice - as we (as family) should find a way to be happy again
 
My word for 2015 will be BLESSED. I feel blessed. I want to remember that and find the blessing in all things. I want to "let go and let God" direct my life even when it is scary.
 
I would go for 'FINDING'. Finding solutions for our problems, finding my inner peace and finding my mojo also, finding this thing that is somehow missing from my life but can't really name it.
 
I have for the past few years, and the cool thing is that the word always came in handy. Having a hard time choosing this year, leaning towards stability but not sure yet!
 
*... peeping & sneaking into the room quietly & shyly ...*

I started on a new journey in Sept 2014. Sometimes I like it, other times I hate it. But things are ironing out on their own, much to my great surprise. With this, I foresee a 2015 with many highs & lows.

So my OLW for 2015 is ENJOY. I just wanna enjoy the ride ... enjoy the journey ... enjoy the what-nots.

I had mentioned it to my colleague. And the conversation got side-tracked to the terrorists happenings. And I ended it with "I'm so gonna enjoy being terrorized." Bwahahahahah !!!!!

I was thinking RELEASE also. I like LESS as well, which Peppermint said. Or what about REFINE - I like its definitions: to bring to a fine or a pure state; free from impurities / to bring to a finer state or form by purifying/ to make more fine, subtle, or precise

oooh...refine is a good one.
 
Mine is "do." I have so many things that I not only want to do, but *need* to do....and the "need to do" things are getting in the way of the "want to do" things. So if I can just get done the stuff that *needs* to be done, then I can go and do more things that I *want* to do!
 
Mine is FINISH.
I have so many projects that I have started or goals I set for the new year and some how they never get finished so it is my hope that this year I will finish a lot of the things I have started.
 
My word is learn more techniques. I know in my mind what I would like in a page, but there is always something I don't know how to do.

One year I picked a word, but never did anything with it. Still, that word stuck with me, and made an impact on my choices that year. So, this year I suppose I would like to pick another word, even if I don't actually scrap it or document it. I just am not sure what I want it to be.
I'm kicking a few around in my head.

Last year my word was Believe. I scrapped one page about it in January and no others... BUT it did stick with me. And 2014 was the best year in a long time. I have to credit OLW for really changing my attitude about a lot of things that made my world a happier, better place. It's kinda incredible to me that one little word can stick like it does.

My word this year is Balance. I tend to get totally absorbed in one area and all other areas of my life get lost... then I get overwhelmed and raise my blood pressure... This year, I plan on making balancing all areas of my life, on all levels a priority. I've already started and it feels good!
 
if i can use a phrase instead - mantra? - it's be Silver Linings at this stage - i need to see some positive everywhere because otherwise things can get depressing - i think of my cup being hlf empty as realistic but apparently that's a depressive mindset and i see the ironing pile growing and tht's depressing but the upside is the clothes are washed and dried... i think this will be a struggle...
 
I {heart} One Little Word! I've been playing along for going on seven years now, if I counted correctly... In 2014 my word was MOTION, 2013 was VITAL, 2012 was RESOLVE, 2011 was LISTEN, 2010 was HEALTH, 2009 was INVEST, and 2008 was BALANCE.

For 2015, I've chosen CULTIVATE. I love that word, and its connotations of growth. This year will be about cultivating new skills and hobbies, about cultivating relationships, both old and new, and cultivating interests in my nieces and nephews by exposing them to new things. Exposing myself to new things. Cultivating my knowledge of who God is and who I am in light of that and growing my love for Him.

2015 is going to be a growing kind of year!

BALANCE was my very first word back in 2008, and it made a tremendous difference in how I approached life! I put a cute little piece of art with that word on my bulletin board at work. Seeing it every day kept it in my head, and I found myself making different choices because of it. :)
 
my for this year would be workout. I started taking seriously my workout and starter running in September and even if I had some ups and downs I still enjoy so much my workouts and I feel mentally and physically so much better after working out. It´s a good thng after stresfull day at work. Wishing everyone good luck with their words
 
Last year I chose "Believe" and while I didn't stop and do a lot of projects about it, when I was feeling down or not sure what I wanted/needed, that word was a great pick-me-up!

This year, I was tossing around "complete" because I have a tendancy to start a lot of personal projects and not finish them by the end of the year (I do much better with shorter projects that have a real deadline lol!) but I'm also considering "do/do it" and "finish" I know what some of my goals are so I'm hoping by the time the "One Word" MOC challenge rolls around, I've narrowed it down to one ;)
