full.

So I've been mulling & mulling [yes, just like cider] my "one little word" for 2010 － a concept from life artist Ali Edwards of choosing a single word to represent what you want for yourself for the year － and seriously can't seem to hit upon the right one.

Past years' words: 2007 － embrace; 2008 － rest [an utter bust, by the way]; 2009 － connect.

So I'm considering not going with a verb, moving away from what I want to do and toward what I want to be. Existential, eh?

Still, I can't seem to come down to a single word.

So I'm thinking about trying to come up with a new word every month to meditate and reflect upon. What the hey － let's give it a go:
