Another year!

Hi Friends,
Well another year is coming to close, whether we like it or not, 2009 is here! 2008 has truly been such a fantastic year, I have been blessed in SO many ways....including by many of you who read and visit this little blog. It's kind of funny, since really it's only one day's difference, right?....today it's 2008 and tomorrow it's 2009?!

This coming year I've just decided to choose a word for the year. my word for 2009 is: Energy

Here's Webster's definition; en·er·gy

Pronunciation:
\ˈe-nər-jē\

Function:
noun

Inflected Form(s):
plural en·er·gies

Etymology:
Late Latin energia, from Greek energeia activity, from energos active, from en in + ergon work — more at work

Date:
1599

1 a: dynamic quality b: the capacity of acting or being active c: a usually positive spiritual force

2: vigorous exertion of power : effort

3: a fundamental entity of nature that is transferred between parts of a system in the production of physical change within the system and usually regarded as the capacity for doing work

4: usable power (as heat or electricity) ; also : the resources for producing such power


I have a ton of projects that I am just SO excited about this year....and they are going to require a lot of energy. But really, I believe that I get energy from them, it's inspired energy. Like when you get really excited about something and you end up energized just by the idea of what you think about. That's the kind of energy I'm talking about. But also in my photography. The photo above exuberances a lot of energy, and I want more of that in my work....

Do any of you choose a word for the year? This is my first year doing this, and while it's a little weird - I admit - I think it's kind of fun....and I truly believe it's a good thing to operate our brains in an abnormal {as opposed to stagnant} way on a regular basis - it keeps things fresh!

Share your words if you decide to pick one!!!
