When Ali Edwards first blogged about One Little Word several years back, I was instantly hooked on the idea. The goal is to pick one word that you want to be the focus of your year, and to spend the next 365 days trying to work the theme of your word into your life. In the past, I have chosen the words
Balance, Revive and
Pause. This year, I had a word all picked out at the end of December. I thought of it over Christmas break, and was feeling pretty good about it. Out of all the words I had picked so far, last year's word.. Balance was the one I did the best job with. This isn't to say that I achieved balance in my life, because that is so far from the truth. But I did cut back on some things. I dropped some obligations (Steel Drums for example), and I tried to do better balancing myself between family and work and life. Not a great job, but not too shabby.
