In So Many Words

I did awesome this last week on my to do list, if I do say so myself! Of course, I sucked at blogging! I’m amazed I still have any readers, but I am thankful for every one of you.

This week I’m just going to prioritize the things that didn’t get done last week, so here goes:

My To Do List

Start planning itinerary for our Illinois trip with Bob. We’ve discussed a few ideas, but not really put anything down on paper yet, and it starts in 21 days – yikes!.

Bring “new” file cabinet home and move files into it. This is halfway done. I did bring the file cabinet home and it’s in the basement waiting for the files, but I have to figure out how to install the side holder thingies first.

What’s on your to-do list??

Posts have been popping up recently on the topic of One Little Word. I first saw this at Challenges and Adventures, where Gail was talking about how, for the last several years, she has been picking a word to focus on during that year. She also shared her plans to find a way to visually represent her word for 2009, inspired by Ali at ali edwards.

What a neat idea! So many possibilities immediately come to mind, but how do you pick just one? Then Tammy at 5 Minutes for Special Needs asked this question:

If you were to choose ONE WORD that would sum up your goals and the direction of your heart for 2009, what would that word be?

Well, that really helped me narrow it down. The word I have chosen for myself for this year is HOME. As much as I love all the different interests and activities I am involved in, my ultimate goal is to make our home be a place to retreat and connect with each other.

I wrote a little more about it today for Try This Tuesday and I’m sure I will write more about it here as the year progresses.

How about you? What word would you pick and how would you represent it?
