Daily Blog Challenge Day 127/365
There have been a ton of tweets lately about people choosing their "One Word" for 2014. I think I picked a word last year, but clearly it was not a long term focus. I like the idea of choosing a word to be my focus for this year. I have so many goals and things I want to accomplish, so it is nice to have a singular focus.
The more I talked to my PLN and exchange ideas, I decided to pick my own word for the year and to have my 3rd & 4th graders choose their word that focuses their energies during the second semester.
After a few days of reflecting I came up with a list of possible words: connections, focus, communication, dedication and growth.
2014 is going to be filled with new and exciting challenges, some I know and some I have yet to discover. I was recently named the Head Softball Coach of the High School in my District and there are personal changes coming as well (positive ones). I often feel like I am going in a thousand directions and it is sometimes hard to keep all aspects of my life in a balance that is acceptable to me.
After considering all of these variables I decided to go with Focus as my word for 2014. I want to strive to focus on what I am doing in the moment. I wear many hats during the course of a day: husband, friend, daughter, coach and teacher. All of these jobs are important and I need to focus on the job I am doing in the moment.
Here is to a year of FOCUS.
What is your word for 2014? Thank you for reading.
