New Year New Word
Happy New Year!
Life has moved on in many ways from this time last year - which is good since my word theme for 2009 was "Movement".
We moved house, moved to a different town and region, moved boxes and boxes and boxes. Then in some ways found ourselves in exactly the same place all over again. Perhaps this time around, the movement will not be us. Cryptic I know, but you never know who is reading... *laughter*
We closed the year having doubled the number of legs in the household. These four new legs ensure regular movement in the form of walking, which is having a great effect on the movement of weight.
Life is good, even if there is a nasty little piece of grit causing irritation within the walls of our cosy shell. Perhaps I could sell the grit to Fife Council, since they appear to have none to put on the pavements of Fife.
Anyway, I intended to start the year on a high without having to think about grit, shit or noise - but I was forced to discover that by 2am Fife Constabulary had racked up 74 incident numbers. Ours made a round 75. Fab, eh?
Funnily enough words like silence, peace, quiet, asbo spring to mind as my word of choice for 2010, but I'd rather choose a word inspired by something more worthy. I'd quite like Fife Council to choose the word integrity, though I suspect they'll need a dictionary for that.
Thinking about where I want my year to go, I realise it's all about making things happen, bringing ideas to fruition, finishing things I started and so I've chosen this word as my theme for 2010:
Manifest

Taexlia,
Don’t know if you will remember Modron from WWWW but that is me. I left WWWW in 2005.
I was visiting “Beyond The Fields We Know” and saw your blog listed. So, I decided to stop by. I love your blog layout. I’m with you on the 2010 word of choice “Manifest”. A single word is the better focus, for me, than a list of resolutions. I hadn’t thought of it that way.
Great blog…I’ll be keeping up with you.

Hi Sandi – lovely to see you again. I find the word theme much more motivating that a list of things I don’t *really* want to do… It’s better to look back on the year and find things that did come from the word, than to review a forgotten to-do list that doesn’t have many ticks
