My One Little Word for 2017 is
Have I stretched myself? At first glance, I think not. I feel as though I’ve just been rolling along. But with deeper reflection, I can say I have:
- I’ve pressed myself as a teacher of writing, trying new moves
- I’ve tried out some new organizational strategies to be sure I conference with everyone
- I finally joined a book group
- I am trying to keep a writer’s notebook (still a work in progress)
There are a few other smaller ways I’ve stretched myself, but these are the most significant. The is still more than half a year to go. I can keep working on these and, maybe even stretch myself in other ways I haven’t thought of yet.
My OLW hasn’t made me a new person – that wasn’t my goal. But I feel like I have stretched enough to grow.
