Word To Guide My Year

Last year I began the tradition of choosing a word that would guide my choices throughout the coming year. My 2009 word was Gentle. I must say that it worked out much better for me than a list of resolutions I would have tried so very hard to keep.

Instead, I allowed gentleness to guide my daily choices. When some were bad, I practiced gentleness with myself.

I am surprised, as 2009 has drawn to a close, how much that word has changed my perspective towards myself and others.

My word for 2010 is vitality.

My intention for 2010 is that it begins a decade of new and renewed life.
