I'm not sure if you remember but at the beginning of last year there was a trend of posts going round where bloggers were almost setting their goals or the tone for the year ahead and my choice was to Be Present. This year I gave this some serious thought because it worked for me to come back to my main focus for 2014.
This year I wanted to be anti-procrastination and I had to search for a word that fully encompassed this and Alacrity is the word. The meaning is simply:
1. Cheerful willingness, eagerness
2. Speed or quickness; celerity
This is what I want for myself. I hate that I procrastinate so much so I think if I make a conscious effort to completely opposite it then I'll be 1000 times better than I've ever been.
So, what's your word for the year?
can I steal alacrity from you? I like that word a lot, and forgot it was part of my vocabulary!

Interesting choice! When I hear 'alacrity', I think 'haste'. But eagerness is a nicer interpretation. :)
ReplyDeleteMine is Prosperity. Which is more of an outcome than a trait, but I want to stay focused on it anyway.
Great word for the year :)
ReplyDeleteLove this and the message behind it!

Love this darling! I think I need to stop being afraid this year and dare to try new things and go the extra step even if I fall.
