One of my friends posted that to her Facebook status. I loved the responses she got.. Doomsday did not make the list.. my word was 'change'. Thought I might share a few of them along with a bit of commentary.
- Happy: I often allow happenings to affect my happiness. I would like that to happen less.
- Acceptance: I think that there may be a connection between this and happiness.
- Intentional: There is something empowering about making plans and living on purpose.
- Creativity: Not just for the artistically minded. Living and changing is sometimes all about this word.
- Determined: Love that word! Speaks to me about persistence in the face of trials.
- Adventure: A challenging word for someone like me who likes to play it safe.
- Simplicity: Ann and I began to simplify and enjoy life more in 2010 when we downsized.
I think all these words resonate with me.
ReplyDeleteAdventure...I do like to play it safe but find it exhilarating when I am able to step beyond myself.
Simplicity- Dave and I began a new life when we moved 4 1/2 years ago. We are definitely happier in this new season.
Trust...I'm learning to lean on the Lord more and more each day and I want my Trust to grow. I guess its letting go and letting God.
Thanks for sharing of yourself Bob.
Mine for this year is "Talmid" (disciple)- does cover quite a few of those other words on your list. Blessed New Year to you!
