It's hard to choose a word, especially my One Little Word. I usually take a while, but it's nearly the end of March!
This year I'm looking to make slight changes (ok, I also need to lose a boatload of weight, as if...)
How can I put into words that I'm doing ok with food, exercise, stress, work and relationships. I just want to choose better food, exercise more often, keep my stress level down at work, and continue to nurture my relationships.
Better? I'm not doing too badly. Improve? I've already been trying.
Next stop? The thesaurus.
I try many different words on for size: grow, thrive, rise, persist, uplift. Nothing fits right.
I click synonyms, avoid antonyms... until I find it. The word I need right now.
peace
I strive for my family to get along and be kind and calm.
I hope the world will work together to reduce violence towards one another.
I want to give myself peaceful grace for doing my best and being enough.
There. I found my word. Now I get to work towards achieving it.

Peace is tricky. I wish you the best in focusing on your word for the year. My One Little Word is concentrate. I'm working on it...
ReplyDeleteI LOVE ALI! Hope you find your peace, in big ways and small.
ReplyDeleteGood for you! I only recently learned about OLW, so this year I chose mine for the first time: essence. I'm working to hone in on and find the essence of my true self. Wishing you peace!
ReplyDeleteYou took your "peaceful" time, but I'm so happy you found your word. Peace. I love it. One year I will need peace.
