Word for 2010?

My word for the new year: COURAGE
The "courage" to dream again
The "courage" to let go and let God have complete control
The "courage" to face and overcome my fears
The "courage" to step out of my comfort zone
The "courage" to trust again and allow people in to my life
The "courage" to be myself and not worrying about what others think
The "courage" to let my past hurts go and to begin to live again...
Posting these needs took courage today, but I did it! The people in my life would be shocked to read this, they think I have it all together, but the one thing I am really good at is letting people see only what I want them to. I may look brave on the outside, but the heart has a story that has never been told. This is the year I will have the courage to overcome the hurts!

I think I already mentioned that my word is SERENDIPITY....
My slogan....finding that unexpected outcomes are just what I need...or something like that...I want to realize that sometimes not having things turn out the way we imagined can actually be a blessing...finding hidden treasures in things that just sort of "happen"...I'll elaborate more as the year goes by....

Belles, I absolutely love this. It really resonates with me. Thank you for having the courage to post this list.
I"m thinking I'm going with "focus" as well. I am considering making a banner for my bathroom mirror to remind me daily to "focus".
I need to "focus" on several areas:
1. my health. I am overweight, arthritic and suffer from a cronic condition that is aggrevated by stress. I need to fix all of that, or at least attempt to begin.
2. Our finances. I can control some of it and that's where my "focus" needs to be. This includes getting a good routine/schedule with my big girl job and rebuilding my personal business-my fun job of selling jewelry!
3. Our home. I have several projects in mind and will be telling you all about them in upcoming threads and blog posts.
4. Last but certainly far from least, I need to "focus" on my family. My little boys are growing up fast and I want to wring out every second of it and enjoy it! My big boy turned 17 in December...one more year at home and then he's off to college. I need to "focus" on getting him ready for that and enjoying his company while we have it!
Yes, "focus" seems like a good fit for me in 2010!

Wow...so many good words and connections already posted...I'm thinking about how to find a better balance in life, so I think that's my choice:
balance...in leadership vs micro-managing my dept at work
balance...in work responsibilities vs home responsbilities
balance...in healthy habits...including exercising vs indulging & being a couch potato
balance...in controlling what I can vs giving over what I can't control to God
balance...in focusing on self vs others
balance...in family vs outside influences
balance...in family fiances vs discretionary spending
BALANCE!!!!!

That is awesome ... I wish my hubby could do something from home. He was cut back to three days a week at work. He likes his company ... but sometimes feels a little unappreciated. That's hard for a guy, you know.
I haven't done the "Word" thing in the past ... but I think I will for 2010.
I'm picking SIMPLIFY. My DD will be 18 in April, and my DS is 6. I have a lot of little projects and responsiblities that could be whittled down. From that some joy and peace could be found, I think!

My word for 2010 is GOALS
I set attainable goals for my self and I am determined to achieve them
Have both credit cards paid off by the end of 2011
Increase our $$$ in the savings account.
Up my coupon usage to restock the pantry and reduce the grocery/house hold items budget. To take the savings and apply it to the credit card bills or put in the savings account.
Scheduling in more activities to do with the kids on the calendar for the whole year and stick to it. We gave up planned activities to attend other family functions (there were several during the month of December) Well now if we are available we will attend, if we have something scheduled that the kids would rather do then we will send our regrets. (this is a goal that DH and I set and is a biggie for us as)
I have a couple craft projects that I want to do with the kids over the summer - making christmas ornaments to givie as gifts.
I want to try to make dinners (like casseroles etc) ahead of time and freeze them for hetic nights to avoid ordering takeout (big budget killer) I already started a list of some I want to try.
To have all the Christmas gifts bought by Dec 1st.

Yeah, he isn't going to be working from home. He currently works four jobs for a total of 7 days a week 10-12 hours a day. He is going back to truck driving so that he can make the same income. He will be paring down to 6 days a week lol!
