2014 Word of the Year
4:43 PMIt's that time of year! Time to set new goals, get excited about the future, and for me, pick a focus word!
I have been participating in One Little Word for a few years. One year, delight was my word. One year, simplify. It's always a fun process coming up with my word. And I've realized that I never pick my words,......they pick me.
This year my word is
I've been thinking for the past week or two on what my word would be. I had a few that I liked, but I just couldn't commit to one. Then the other day I saw the word "complete" and I KNEW that was it. Complete was my word!
I looked it up in the dictionary and this is what it said:
com·plete
kəmˈplēt/
adjective
- 1.having all the necessary or appropriate parts.
- 2.(often used for emphasis) to the greatest extent or degree; total.
verb
- 1.finish making or doing.
- 2.make (something) whole or perfect.
See what I mean by I KNEW this was my word this year!? It's perfect for what I want to focus on in 2014.
Having all the necessary parts.
I want to concentrate on making sure I don't let one part of my life distract me from ALL the important parts of my life. I need all the necessary parts to make me happy. Family, church, fun, work, love, service. Sometimes I let the kids extra-curricular activities take over, and I get so consumed with car-pool, and practice, schedules, having to do this, and be there, that I forget to serve, or don't make time to go on a date with my husband. This year, I want to be COMPLETE. I need more aspects in my life than just my busy schedule!
To the greatest extent or degree.
I want to feel like my days are complete. I want a complete life!
Finish making or doing.
I want to complete my book!! This is a big one for me this year. I'm excited and scared about doing this!
Make whole or perfect.
I want to be a complete mother. I want to be a complete wife. I want my family to know that they have all of me. I want to love completely. This means less distraction when I am serving them. More one on one time. I don't want to do anything this year half way. I want to do go after everything with complete determination, focus and drive.
Complete.
That's my word, and I'm sticking to it!
What's your word?
