Ali Edwards has done this little challenge for two years now, and it has taken me this long to finally jump on board. My word this year is OUTSIDE. Why? Several reasons:
1. I want to focus on getting outside my own head. I want to be more aware and alert to things that go on around me, and the only way I can do that is to get outside this squishy little square foot or so between my ears.
2. I want to go physically outside more this year, to explore with the kids, to work in the garden, to ride my bike, to go for walks, to go camping, to go hiking, to Dunbar Cave (which is kind of inside, but in an outside kind of way), to see the local parks, to go to LBL, to the zoo, to state parks - wherever! Just outside of the walls of 195 Maplemere.
3. I want to work on my physical outside, my body. I gave up completely on exercise this year and I can feel it. Time to give myself some love and attention and coax myself back into health.
Not a bad little word, outside. I think it will do just fine.

I love it! Now I will have to think of one for me - but outside works well, I was thinking of Dunbar Cave just the other day and how we need to get out more often and watch how the forest changes through the year - there is a pretty good hike there. I also have a boatload of games to play with kids that 'teach' about nature.
Sorry for the run on....
I've decided on mine now - only took a week and a half - cultivate
I love both of your words. I need to think about one for me.
This year is going to be great, I can feel it.
I think I'll just use the word verification word below . . . haireent. That just says it all.
I admire your ambition and the way you're thinking OUTSIDE of the box.
I had to go bak an read your post again, because Jennifer said she liked both of your words. I could only remember one--then I read Karen's comment above--she must have meant your word AND Karen's word.
We need to follow-up and find out what she chose.
But for now, haireent is taken!
I am eagerly awaiting some new little nugget. Please, please....
How's the outside thing working?
