There are so many words that could describe my year (unpredictable, tentative, momentum, discovery, acceptance) but if I had to select just one it would have to be 'PLAY'. For it was through giving myself permission to 'play' that I discovered a love for mixed media artwork and in a sense found myself.
At first I felt like a newborn fledgling, a little shaky and scared, teetering on the edge of a precipice, wondering if I really could fly. I inched forward, breathed deeply, closed my eyes tight and made the leap, fearful that if I looked down I would find the ground rushing up to meet me. Tentatively I opened one eye, then another. Fear gave way to surprise, exhilaration and excitement, I could fly!
As I head into 2011 my chosen word would have to be 'SOAR', for now my wish is to fly more gracefully and in doing so attain new heights.
What one word would you choose to describe your year?
My hopeful word for next year is success!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you allowed yourself to play; having some of your 'playthings' brightens up my home!
Good luck with the challenge; I know you can do it!
I love your words. It takes courage to plunge into new expression.
