My One Word
So, my Word…
I’ve been thinking about it for quite a few days now. Thinking… praying… discerning… deciding if this is the right word.
It is. It was from the second I decided on it, which was almost right away. But because I am Me and I tend to get in my own way fairly often, I made an attempt at re-thinking my word.
I should remember that it is generally not a good idea for me to re-think things that I already know in my heart are right.
So anyway, my One Word for the year is Focus.
It’s a great word for me right now for a great many reasons, many of which are inevitably going to end up being explored here in this blog space. I like that.
My first exercise in Focus is going to be focusing on getting more sleep tonight than I have been getting lately. Perhaps having decided upon my word and now putting it “out there” will be the key to falling asleep tonight.
Here’s hoping.
In the meantime, have you chosen One Word to Focus on for the year? (See how I did that there? Heh.) If so, join me and share in the comments!

I knew you could do it!! Focus is a really good word too because it has many meanings that can suit almost any situation. Kinda like a little black dress. Congrats.
That’s what I was thinking – so many ways to dress it and still works. Love the black dress analogy.
The little black dress of One Word. I love it!
Probably the first time in my life I’ve been even remotely fashionable. 🙂
There are reasons we get along so swimmingly..
I think it may be in part because you are the only other person I know who uses “swimmingly” in conversation. 🙂
It would be hard to put one word down for an entire year, but I think focus would be a good one. In fact, I think that focus would be my word for the year too. I want to get a lot more writing done this year and that will require a lot more focus. I want to accomplish several things that will also require focus.
Hi, Steve, and welcome! A year does seem like an awfully big commitment to this one word…but considering my word of choice, I’m guessing that’s precisely why “Focus” is a good one for me! Love the title of your page, by the way. 🙂
Epiphany is my word for 2013. I’m excited to see God revealed in new ways as the year unfolds.
Ooh, that’s a good one, Jon. Going over to see where you’re going with that one. Thanks for visiting and commenting! 🙂
I was totally stopping by before slipping away to bed without finishing my One Word post. Sigh.
I’ll be back.
I’m back! It’s done! I’m going to bed (after I, you know..)
I tried to go to bed Kindgergarten-style early tonight…dozed deliciously early and then WHAM! Sat bolt upright and realized I had not finished a file I most definitely need for first thing tomorrow morning. Ugh! The best laid plans, right?
I can’t seem to get enough sleep here lately. In my 20s, I worked at a residential treatment center with teenage boys. Among other things, they could earn an Early Bed Time with poor behavior. I gave the entire family one the other night, and since I am the Queen of the Universe, I hereby give *you* an EBT tonight. (Imagine me, tiara donned, tapping your bowed head with my wand.)
OK, I’m taking that as a royal order and passing it along to the commoners.
