Not to late... what's your word???

A few days ago I posted here http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/TX/4091258/Whats-your-word -2010/

It's about selecting a word that has meaning to you and what you hope for in the new year... I also included a list of words to help get you thinking for those who are stuck.  The new year is almost here... so now is the time to reflect on 2009 and make plans for 2010!!!!!

So far this is what we have...

Becky H.     Self confident
Karla L.       Self discipline
Nina             Strive/Thankful
Stephanie   Accountability
Jodie            Believe
Dana            Balance/Consistency
Debbie (TXKasmir)  Self/Love
Gaye           New
Jenny          Survive/Thrive
Lisa             Balance
Sarah          Appreciate
Annette1957   Forward
Dee            Perseverance/Transformation
Tara           Downsize
Gina           Freedom
John          Affirmation

Vicki - dedication/commitment

Self-Renewal

Wow. Thanks Paige. I came in this morning ready to start my day on the computer and you reminded me of my words. The whole thrive part of my quest is to take charge of my own personal mental and physical health so you helped me get the lead out and go exercise! Thanks for that simple reminder of what I claimed for 2010!!!

PAIGE-yea-ditto what JENNY said-funny how a single word-when it's MY word can can jump off the page and mean so much. I think IT "claimed" me, instaead of the other way around around. Thank you SO much for doing this!

Holly..... self-love

Debbi T - Determination

Ok, so my word I had choosen was ATTITUDE based on a quote a came across "Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react/handle it"

So that was going to be my word - still is but as I reflect on last year and where I want to be at the end of this year I look at TENACITY -  persistent in maintaining, adhering to, or seeking something valued or desired

The Tenacity to maintain the weight I have lost, stick with my plan to obtain my ultimate weight loss goal as well as personal goals I have set for myself this year. So I will grab the "bull by the horns and run with it!"

I have been thinking this one over ever since you posted it in your other thread Paige. After careful consideration of how 2008 (the year of my surgery) and 2009 has been for me, I think I need two words for 2010:

STRENGTH
PATIENCE

These two words just about sum up what I need to do in order to make this year better for both me and my family.

Though I must admit, I feel the need already to kick the authors of the following phrases in the butt.....

"Patience is a virtue."
"Good things come to those who wait."
