I thought I was choosing a strange and unlikely word but I guess not. I can see how I might need to incorporate your application into my year. I am the same way. I feel like I need to say something, when in fact I need to listen. <br><br>Until last year, I had never chosen a word to focus on throughout the year. An author friend encouraged me to do so, and with some trepidation I finally did. But like I said, just having chosen the word, many many times throughout the year I was reminded internally to be intentional about certain things. It didn't always happen but I think as a whole, it did help me at times.<br><br>Best wishes for a 'quiet' 2015!<br><br>{{hugs}}Anne Paynehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16326796364748948854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3847882215674685241.post-9694096687139413012015-01-01T23:11:34.899-05:002015-01-01T23:11:34.899-05:00A lot of my day is quiet and I so enjoy it.

I find as women we tend to feel as though we need to be speaking, especially in a crowd and I am finding that not to be so. Many times just listening has a greater effect on digesting a conversation.<br>I love to talk, but God is gently and graciously working with me in that area.<br><br>Thank you for the encouragement here today as we begin a New Year with new desires of our hearts.<br><br>Sweet blessings, DebbieDebbie Harrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16661813843716269751noreply@blogger.com
