I'm early I always love everyone's one little word ideas, but I never actually do one myself.. haha... What are you all planning on doing for 2015? (or what was your 2014 word.. did you stick to it? )
Mine for 2014 was choose (as in choose to be.... making a conscious choice to be happy and positive) and I think I kept to it pretty well. I usually display my word fairly large in my home so I see it often.
Haven't decided on next year's yet but started thinking of possibilities.
This year's OLW was 'persevere' since I knew we would both have to find new jobs + deal with a surprise baby this year.
Bad idea. Never make your OLW something like 'persevere' in the same way that you never pray for patience.
DH just got a new job (albeit a temporary one) a couple weeks ago with 6 weeks to go in 2014. Well played, God.
Next year's OLW is going to be 'rich.' Or 'gorgeous.' :thumbup:
Seriously, though, I think my 2015 OLW will probably be 'thrive.' I always try to pick a verb vs. a noun so that it's something I make happen rather than something that happens to me.
For 2014, mine was Flourish -- I wanted to grow my business and flourish in other areas of my life. I feel I still have so much flourishing to do for 2015, I am having a hard time giving up the word just yet. If I do, my next word would be Abound.
My word was "blessed." I did have a blessed year, but I sure did lose track of that for a good 3 months this fall.
Next year I want my word to be a sentence. I am loving "I can do hard things." I wake up and say it every day. Getting out of bed has been a pretty hard thing lately. I'm going to make it my phrase for the year, I'm thinking.
in the last few years, I've done various things. my word hasn't really picked me yet, but leaning towards cherish. I've done family, create, etc. but my word always picks me. We'll see though, still a few weeks to decide.
Mine for 2014 was courage and I feel like it was a good year to have that one..it's been a hard hard year but looking back i can see bits of courage in my choices and everyday living
Haven't thought of mine either... This year I chose 'rise above', I think I did good, especially with not liking the place we're in right now (China), I did rise above my uncomfortableness being here, put on my big girl pants and be content and grateful of what I have, instead of grumbling...
I've been rolling mine around in my head...I'm not sure yet. I'm leaning to something like 'create', but I'm also thinking something like 'simplicity' (so I can create )
