Every year since 2011 I have picked a Word of the Year.
In
2011 I picked the word “Different.”
I
failed on everything I said I wanted to do different.
It all just stayed the same.
It all just stayed the same.
Another
year I picked "Positive." That one didn't go so good, either.
I was actually more negative about that "positive" kind of thing.

This
year I’m not picking a word.
I’m picking several so that maybe, just maybe, I will get one right for a change.
BRAVE
I’m picking several so that maybe, just maybe, I will get one right for a change.
BRAVE
Be
brave when meeting new people.
Most
of them don’t bite, but some look they are going to.
Think
creatively with a brave mind.
Who
cares if someone doesn’t like what I make! It’s my stuff!
WATCH
WATCH
Watch the time.
It’s going faster than it used to.
Watch
for someone else’s talent.
They
might be willing to teach me a thing or two.
PEACE
Take
a moment to look for peace.
It’s
hard to find, but I'm hoping someone will show me where to look.
Make
peace with myself.
I
can’t change what was.
VALUE
Search for value in others.
It
will be difficult to see sometimes…I just have to look deeper!
Value
my old and new friends.
I
do, but I just need to value them even more and show that I value them!
BELIEVE
Stand
up for what I believe in.
I sit down on this one way too often.
I sit down on this one way too often.
Believe
I can do better.
Of course I can!
Of course I can!
Take
time to believe in someone.
I hope that if I do, someone will take time to believe in me.
I hope that if I do, someone will take time to believe in me.
Believe
that what I do really DOES matter!
That’s
it.
Maybe
one of these Word of the Year words will work for me this time.
I'm going to BELIEVE that it will.
I'm going to BELIEVE that it will.
I have more of a mantra: no zero days. Every day I strive to sew, scrapbook, paper craft and/or workout. Motivating myself for less screen time and more doing time. I scrapbook on an app, so no excuses for not using screen time to accomplish something every day. Hoping to form a good habit(s) and get stuff accomplished.
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to find a word or idea...the only thing I can come up with, has already been overused, but it really does seem to fit..."Just Do It". You seen I tend to overthink ev...ry...thing! So, instead, I hope this year to....just do it already! lol Love the words you chose...I've been waiting for this post.
ReplyDeleteHola Carol, feliz año. yo quisiera comentarte que en realidad la palabra que eliges sin darte cuenta es "adelante"en todos tus pensamientos y acciones,luego salen como salen, pero has adelantado en esperiencia
ReplyDeleteBesos
Well said Carol! I'm not choosing a word at all this year...I've decided on a no-pressure year. If I choose a word I have to try to live up to it. :) Although just saying it's a no-pressure year sort of means I've chosen a word doesn't it....no-pressure? LOL blessings, marlene
ReplyDeleteHi!!!! Sounds like winners to me!!!! I believe in you!!!! The years do seem as if they go by faster to me too!!!! Happy New Year!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think your words are really good. I couldn't decide on just one, so you have given me permission to use more. Thanks😀 your already all those good words..
ReplyDeleteYour list of words is awesome. I too, find that the words I have chosen in past years have always fell flat because I did not try hard enough. I don't think I will choose a word this year.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using multiple words. Great words to try to live by on a daily basis.
