I recently stumbled upon an inspirational blog. One of Ali Edwards’ scrapbooking books is a favorite of mine, and I am ecstatic to discover that she has an incredible blog that I look forward to visiting often this next year.
One of Ali’s recent posts resonated with me. She talks about the ‘one little word’ that she chooses each January to set the tone for her new year. (After you’ve read the link above, read more here.)
One word for a whole year might be a stretch for me. How can I limit myself to one little word? But maybe that is the point. That one little word, when used as a focus, could be like a continuous drip of water upon a stone.
I thought back over the last two years. ‘Journey’ is the word that instantly comes to mind when I remember 2006. Russ got a new job, Leif was born, we began homeschooling, and moved to our forever home. ‘Hope’ sums up this past year beautifully. Life in 2007 has been full of hope.
What are my goals for 2008? What tone do I want to set? What can be improved upon in my attitude or actions?
What word would you choose?
