A word for the entire year she asks. One word to hopefully describe the year ahead. The first word that sprung to mind was madness. Because how can you describe a year that is not even a week old? That is still in its infancy? I mean, you don't look at a week-old baby and go: brain surgeon! Well, there might be people who do, but they are usually mightily disappointed when said baby grows up and decides he rather wants to be a turkey farmer!
But of course, me being me, I got to thinking some more. Painfree flashed through my mind, but that would only be highlighting one part of my life. Fitness would be the same and knowing me, quite a grasp! So, what word would be good? What word could fit a whole year?
I really had to get my thinking cap on. And then: happiness! Why not? It could fit. It could be good. Yet, there was a niggle in the back of my head saying it wasn't enough. It wasn't... IT. And then I remembered my love for the Doctor. No, not a real doctor, although I do love the two doctors that reside in my life, but the Doctor. And his advice to one of his companions a while ago (I think it was David Tennant's Doctor to Billie Piper's Rose) which was: live life!
Looking at the bucket list I made yesterday, that fit perfectly. Live life! But of course there was this little hitch: live life is two words and only one was needed. So, my word for 2015?
LIVE

ReplyDeleteThat fits!!! YAM xx
I chuckled out loud at "turkey farmer." And I never use the word chuckle but it felt right here.
ReplyDeleteI love your word. I love the Doctor. Like, big time. Like, we have a TARDIS shed at our house... true story.
Maybe another word "Apples" ?? :)
ReplyDeleteFor me-- contentment or anticipation. Live life happily and contentedly as well as generously. Have a wonderful New Year, Mara and one soon to be pain-free.
ReplyDeleteLove the "Turkey Farmer" line. Yes, people make predictions even in utero. Live is a great word for 2015. Live to have fun, live to read blog, live to be pain free. I hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the funny post. You've made me smile. Enjoy living this year!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great word! I haven't come up with mine yet.
ReplyDeleteI took a peek at your bucket list. Go to a German Christmas market is on my list, too! I've been to the one in Chicago (with real German businesses), but I'd love to somebody go to a *real* one in Germany. I've only been to Germany once, but I'd love to go back at Christmas time.
ReplyDeleteHa, yes, it's all my fault! You have a point, but you came up with an awesome word just the same!
ReplyDeleteI like your thinking. Embrace what life throws at you and live!
ReplyDeleteLive. It doesn't get better than that!
