on the Fifth Day of Christmas…six movies, one little word

December 29, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner 6 Comments

Fifth Day of Christmas

On the Fifth Day of Christmas, the sunrise is glorious, and I’m happy to be on the tail-end of the crud. During this last week of 2014, I’ve done nothing but watch movies and guzzle cough medicine. The good stuff with codeine. John’s been supportive of my movie-watching even though he’s officially on vacation and probably had more exciting things in mind.

So far we’ve seen Nebraska, Divergent, American Hustle, 12 Years a Slave, The Words, and The Book Thief. Probably more even.

Obviously, I haven’t been writing. But, I’ve been thinking about writing. And I’ve been thinking about my One Little Word for 2015.

Are you familiar with the One Little Word project?

Bottom line: find One Little Word for the upcoming year—a word with heartfelt significance—and use that word to help push you toward desires and goals both personally and professionally. Sound cheesy? I think it has merit. (Learn more about it HERE from my friend Jacqueline Wolven.)

I’ve never had a word before. But I’ve followed along as several of my friends have selected words that subsequently shaped their years. Words like Focus. Fearless. Dream. Thrive. Journey.

One little word can have a huge impact.

I do believe in the power of positive thinking. Small gestures. Good deeds. One little word.

I’ve narrowed my word choice down, and now I’m toying with three. Stay tuned.

Do you have a word for 2015?

        Yes Talya I have decided that I need to practice having more patience. I think the older I get the less patience I have. I need to be more tolerant of others. There are so many big things to complain about so when people complain about little insignificant things it really bugs me. I’m sure it is important to them but sometimes I just feel like saying, “Get a life.”

    Glad you’re better. I’ve been thinking about the new year and will now add considering what my little word will be.

    Lots of tissues being used in your house between the crud and your movie choices. 🙂 I’m glad you’re feeling better and I can’t wait to read what your word is for 2015. Have a happy New Year!
