... plus c'est la même chose - I seem to have a penchant for words connected to energy. Last year's One Little Word of 'Alive' stood me in good stead for a few months but then, somehow, we lost track of each other. I contemplated choosing it again this year but have an in-built resistance to repeating something which did not go well. 'Learn' was a contender for quite a few weeks but had a heavy dull feeling and, however worthy, it lacked a 'tingle factor' and I was afraid we might not be able to partner each other all year. Then 'Vitality' popped into view ...
... and felt much more energising. I'm sure that 'learn' will find its place within it, but for now, 'vitality' is serving me well. In the last two weeks, I have given up a lifetime's addiction to tea (and feel the better for it, much to my surprise), walked, swum and put together a list of 'micro-exercises' spread across the day which help keep me feeling alert and focused. Feeling positive! How are you and your word (if you chose one) getting along?
Hi Alexa my word this year is Heal. I've spent the last 2 years trying to be mindful and not doing too well. After another year of, quite frankly, pretty awful mental health and still battling I might add, I am trying heal for size. I do love vitality for you. I'm imagining you doing your exercises but when I first read it I thought you were doing something amazing in your microwave!!!!! Silly me.
I love your pages, all that beautiful green and leaves. Wreathes are so lush. I am looking forward to following your progress and seeing how you micro-manage your micro-exercises lol

Vitality is a great word for you - love the definitions. And I do believe you will dance circles around the floor with this one! :)

Beautiful pages to reflect such a positive OLW for you. Giving up tea! Now that is a major change.
My OLW & I are not connecting enough, yet.

Vitality is such a great word for you! Re the tea thing - have you tried decaf? I'm a convert.

Good choice - and I love the way you intend to invite vitality into your life this year. I like the idea of micro-exercises throughout the day and am sure that when added together, they will equal far more than would have been done in one gym session!

Vitality is a wonderful word! I love that it has that "tingly" factor, and has inspired you to set some lofty intentions. I hope it turns out to be a great fit!

What a great word! I'm still contemplating how I want my word to work in my life this year. I've chosen HEALTH, but somehow I'm not totally engaging with it yet.

Gorgeous pages Alexa!

That is a good choice. I like that last quote although at my age, I don't want to start "over", but I am happy to start "anew." And I like the synonyms verve and zing! Hope you experience it all in 2020.
