Okay, I've been really intrigued by the idea of choosing a word to live by for 2010. But.....so many people do it and because of that, I was having a really hard time coming up with a word of my my own. I was going to go with this one, but she beat me to it. I don't want to be a copy cat with my word (I'm fine with being a copy cat on the idea of a word for the year) and so I decided to go with my second choice.
Less
This year I will try my best to yell less, become angry less, eat less, shop less, be defensive less, jump to conclusions less, go to bed late less, be stubborn less, refuse to admit a mistake less, etc. Anything that I do to excess, I will try to do a little less. I'm not going to say that I will stop anything totally. I mean, come on. I'm 34, kind of set in my ways and totally changing them in one year would be impossible. Baby steps will be what works for me.

I should have remembered to say "weigh less".
I think it's perfect.
I love it! And I'm sorry about stealing Listen.
We can all do baby steps! I need to do a lot of things "less" also. Good luck to you!
I love this word. I decided awhile ago that this year I want to be more "grateful", even when problems are thrown at me I am hoping that I can be grateful for them because I will come out of it stronger. I also think that if I am grateful for what I do have I won't be trying to do things that I can't afford (like redo the carpet in my house).
I like it. A LOT.
Thanks, Christa. That's a great word to focus on. I think I'll copy-cat you.
