Word of 2009

Inspired by: Tip Junkie

This year I want to be BETTER than I was last year. I want to DO everything I know I should & more. I want to be POSITIVE & OPTIMISTIC, even when I am granted new challenges to endure. I want to say YES more and Complain less. I want to ENJOY and not worry so much. I want to be more GRATEFUL. I want to RECOGNIZE what I have & not take it for granite.

The word I choose this year is:

APPRECIATE

- to grasp the nature, worth, quality, or significance of
- to value or admire highly
- to judge with heightened perception or understanding : be fully aware of
- to recognize with gratitude
- to increase the value of
