Word of the Year

The other day I was reading the blog of one of my friends and she had done such a fun thing that I decided I wanted to copy it!  I wish that I could take credit for the idea, but no such luck!  Rather than making the same old, same old New Year's Resolutions, she picks one word each year to focus on for the year.  It's not as easy as it seems to think of just one word that you would want to live for an entire year!  But I took the challenge and found my word!

My word for 2011 is going to be DETERMINATION.

Definition -
* A quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult
* The act of officially deciding something
* Firm or fixed intention to achieve a desired end
* Firmness of purpose; resolve
* A fixed intention or resolution

I have a lot of plans and goals for 2011 and I know that it will take great Determination in order to accomplish those goals.



What word would you pick to live by for a year?  I challenge each of my friends to come up with one word that they want to focus on in the lives for the rest of 2011.  Let me know what word you would choose!

Thanks for the idea Tib!
