My word

I was just checking out Ali Edwards' blog and she shared a whole bunch of words that people have selected to be "their" word for the year. I was reading Kal Barteski's blog yesterday and her word last year was GO, this year it is AM. I started wondering what my word would be if I had one. So when I read Ali's blog today, I knew I just had to chose my own word for this year. I have decided that my word for 2008 is HOPE.
HOPE
"Not wishful thinking but firm assurance"
I HOPE for balance with family time and work
I HOPE for new creativity and inspiration
I HOPE for financial security
I HOPE for others less fortunate than myself
I HOPE for blossoming in old and new friendships
I HOPE to be the best me I can be
I HOPE for so much more...
What's your word for this year going to be? I would love to know... since only my mom and Fi ever read it - I challenge you both to pick your own word for this year!

"Do"and I have been quite good with it already... I have crossed a whole lot of stuff off my to do list already and it is only the...um...8th! Instead of walking past something a hundred times saying I must do that, I stop and "do"..tightened a loose screw on my sunglasses, took down the Christmas tree, washed the fingerprints off the light switch, etc

Hey there! My word last year was "slow down" (I know- it's a phrase...) and for this year it's "simplify"...

Hope you and yours are well!
love Adele.

and me!
Last year my word was "Restore", this year's word is "embrace".

Amazing, the tests last year was full of! This year I embrace everything. All those moments.
