*I want to be more purposeful in how I spend my time.
*I want to be more purposeful in what I say to others.
*I want to be more purposeful in how I interact with AnnaKate.
*I want to be more purposeful in how I take care of my body.
I think being purposeful covers lots of bases. Check out Allie Edwards blog. She has great list of words for 2009 that other people have chosen.
What word will you chose for 2009?
Billy and I married in 1998 after dating for 6 years. In 2006 we adopted AnnaKate. We were lucky enough to meet her birth mother and take her home from the hospital. At about 4 months old, AnnaKate was diagnosed with Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. Through all of AnnaKate's struggles and delays she surprises and delights us daily! Thanks for marking this spot and coming back often to check in on us.

Good post! I'll go first...
Settled
I think that captures what I want the most in 2009.
-settle all of my to-dos with the house
-settle into motherhood
-settle into a church
-settle into my life in general so that I do not always feel 10 minutes behind
I like your word purposeful because it is similar to the one I was thinking of... intentional
Have an excellent year and may you fulfil all your purposes
Thankful...This past year has made me realize all of the things I took for granted. I want to make sure my 2009 is full of thankfulness~ family, friends, health, job, home to raise my children, great doctors, and the list could go on and on! (And thank you, Kelly, to get me thinking about a word for 2009!)
I'm still thinking about this one but so far I'm leaning towards Giving.
I would like to give more of myself to others...
my husband
my children
those that are less fortunate
my community
friends and family
Well, as you aid, mine is thrive.
*thrive as a mom
*thrive as a wife
*thrive personally
*thrive phyiscally
*thrive in my relationships with others
I think purposeful is an excellent word.
I need to think of one for myself. Any suggestions?
WOW...Your Blog has really "stepped up" a notch or two. I love this entry, but I enjoyed all of one where you ended in a question. You really got me thinking about many topics. I need to follow your blogs more carefully.
My word for 2009 is HOPEFUL. THe past several years have depleted my HOPE, but I feel that it is coming back in abundance. I am hopeful for what my future holds. I am hopeful for the schievements my children are going to reach this year. I am hopeful that I am going to end my "people pleasing." I am hopeful that I am going to regain, renew, and rejuvenate some old friendships. I am hopeful that I am going to get a DATE.
Thank you, Kelly. For making me think. You are an inspiration and a wonderful person!
Kelly,
I have just recently started following your blog. Anna Kate is so cute!
I have to think about this..... mmhmmm I think mine is:
Move on ( two words but it sums it up)
Simplify.
My friend Kristi has done this for several years, check out her blog everythingispink.blogspot.com.
Happy Thursday
Jennifer
Mine would have to be Adapting. My husband had a major job change starting the first of the year (went into full time ministry) so we have a lot to get used to!
