My word for 2008 is....

GROW! Ali Edwards has challenged her blog readers to come up with a single word to describe what they expect from 2008. I was having a hard time deciding on just one word until I found the picture above in my digital scrapbooking library. Originally, I was leaning towards "Create" or "Improve" but neither seemed to encompass everything that I want to accomplish this year. When I saw the word "Grow" I knew that it was the word that I had to go with. "Grow" means: to increase gradually in size, amount, etc; to expand; or to come into being. It matches perfectly with all of the goals that I outlined in yesterday's post. I want to "grow" in my faith, I want to "grow" seeds of happiness within my family, and I want to "grow" and pursue more creative endeavors in 2008. Of course, "grow" is not really my intention when it comes to my weight loss goal. lol But maybe we can say that I want to "grow" my self-confidence and improve my body image as I achieve my goal of losing 30 pounds. I guess that will work. As we move further into 2008, I hope that I am able to continue down the paths that I have started out on and to share my "growth" with you. So, what is your word for 2008? And if you don't have one yet, it isn't too late to get started. Just think about what word most describes what you want to accomplish. Be sure to write it down and keep it in a place where you can see it every day. Good luck on your journey. I can't wait to hear all about it!!!
