Tip Junkie suggested an idea to come up with one word that describes what you want for yourself in 2009. My word is joy.
- I've heard that joy can be an acronym for Jesus first, Others second, Yourself third.
- I want to have joy in the journey.
- I want to bring joy to others.
- I want to remember that joy is something I give myself, not something that is given to me.
- In 2010, I want to look back at the year 2009 and realize that I decided to make that year a joyful one, and it worked!
What's your word?

Beautiful explaination of the word Joy!
I am not sure if I can pick A/one word...gotta think about it.
I have to think of my word but oh boy do I love yours!
Great post and wonderful word!! I will have to think about this one myself...
What a wonderful word and a great way to describe it. I too am big in power words. Some of my favorites are Strength, Hope, Joy... but my word for the year is going to be Believe. :)
Thanks for sharing Tara!
Love this idea. Im getting on it now. I have to many words! Can I pick like 10? haha. Im just wondering through your Chloe pics- Girl can I get the secrets to the cutest kid in the world. This thing is cooking fast and I need to get a move on to catch up :)
what a beautiful post!
Your little dirvish is gorgeous!
What a great idea! I think my word for 2009 will be BELIEVE!
My word for this year is peace...
I love your blog. I love your attitude towards life. I love your word. There couldn't be a more perfect word for what anyone wants to define their year.
Joy is what I want to feel while I am on the journey AND at the end of it.
I'll pick a different word, how about a second-best word, for this year I want progress. I want to have moved somewhere emotionally, spiritually, and in my home and family organization and prepardness. I want this to be movement forward, in a direction that makes it easier to feel joy. When I look back at 2009 I want it to be a year where I can see that my family and I took a step in the right direction and left a little bit less to be done in subsequent years as a result.
What a cool post. I really like that acronym for JOY. Never seen it before, but it's so true! Happy 2009!
Great word. Great attitude. You have a beautiful family!
That's funny you would post that. I have been thinking Joy is a good word for 2009. I of course copied it from someone else, and at this time I can't remember who.
Content would be good. . . but JOY would be better!
Following up from SITS!
What a great definition of joy. This is a wonderful word to guide you this year. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
I absolutely love your definition of joy. What a fantastic post!
Dropping by from SITS, my word is PEACE. I love joy's acronym. Great word, and post.
Drop by and say hi when you have a chance.
Thanks for stopping by my blog. I love yours and Chloe is gorgeous. Your blog is fantastic. As an elementary teacher and former special needs teacher, I love that there are parents willing to share thier stories and make what some percieve as a negative such a fantastic positive. Keep it up girl.
God Bless :)
By the way, I changed my word at about 3 in the morning from enjoy to intentional.
The word I always live by is Believe. It emcompasses it all for me: God, Faith, Hope, Love, etc.
But for this year I have another word PeacefulAttitude, I know it looks kinda funny but since I needed one word I just made it compound!
A great choice of a "word" to live by!
Mine is compassion!
OK that is the BEST word choice and explanation I have read yet!! (And I've read alot of them!!!) BEAUTIFUL!! I have just fallen in love with you kidz connection site! WOW! Thanks I am officially a follower.

I love that word. Joy makes eveything better.
