This one is two sided. My sister is coming to visit in a week and I really need to finish cleaning my place. Also, my choice of words at work has digressed and I would like to clean up my speech. This will be the harder of the two.

Word of the week: Clean

I was involved in a misunderstanding the other day. One that left me thinking about the man I have become vs. the man I want to be. Not sure when but I stopped thinking about the latter. So in a weak attempt to nudge myself in the proper direction I have chosen a new word of the week.

My new word of the week is character.

My word for this week has been intentional. I’m trying to be more intentional in my life. With friends, with exercise, with work and with my faith.
 
It hasn’t been going very well.

The word of the week has been purpose. I’ve been trying to introduce it into my life. Maybe even learn a little about my own. It hasn’t gone over so well.

If I was already forced to choose one word to describe how this year has gone, contemplation would be it. Seeing that word makes me think of progression and revelation but neither of those would characterize these past few months. I have been in a strong state of contemplation, just not in that way.

There has been no progression, just digression. There has been no revelation, just repetition.

I’ve been reflecting on my way of life a lot.

Today I am deciding on another word for the week. I think it will be… Thoughtful. I’m going to try to be more thoughtful this week. Maybe this will help me fulfill my task of giving.
 
Word of the week: Thoughtful

Last week I had made the decision to focus on being more diligent in everything that I did. From this, knowingly temporary, forced direction of thought I was able to get far more accomplished because I had something to work towards.
 
Diligent was my word of the week last week.

Two weeks ago I went on a road trip with a friend and we were joined halfway by his cousin. From all of our loose suggestions of arrival times we noticed that our trip was characterized by the word impeccable.
 
Our timing was impeccable on several occasions and thus became the word of the week.
