One Word 2013 Update ~ Diligence {December}

I did the One Word thing this year. I tried it in years past without much success, but this year it stuck. My word was Diligence. And it's been a great word for me! I'm not really sure if the word itself made me diligent, or made me think more about being diligent or if it was just time for me to be diligent so that's why the word came to me in the first place. Doesn't really matter - I've been diligent in many things this year!

Here are some of my examples of Diligence this year:

• Trained using Couch-to-5K and ran a 5K
• Early to Rise challenge in March
• Stop and Write a Blog Post challenge in April
• Clutter-Busting challenge in May
• Weekly walking with friends
• Stop and Do 2 series {establishing new habits}
• 31-Day Series in October: Anything I Can Do, You Can Do Too!
• Started Weight Watchers {down over 7 lbs so far}
• December Declutter {Working on getting rid of 100 items this month - currently at 61!}

Seems like a pretty good year to me! I guess it's about time to start thinking about a word for 2014.

Did you have a One Word focus this year? If so, how did it go? Are you going to try One Word for 2014? 

Have a blessed day, friends!
