My word for 2008

Ali Edwards has been an encouragement for people to choose their "word" for the year. Not a resolution - but choose a word that you would like to "drive" your year this year. I know several people who've done this and the more I've thought about it, the more I've thought, "I need to do that, too." Not a resolution...I'm not a resolution maker, at all. I think they're kind of hokey and how many people actually keep their New Year's resolutions beyond March?

I chose focus as my word for 2008 based on this definition from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary: a state or condition permitting clear perception or understanding; direction

I'm adding a new person to my family, I'm going to start homeschooling my oldest child in the fall - I'm definitely going to need clear perception and understanding as well as direction for my life this year!
