Word of the Year - 2016: Nifty

At the beginning of 2015, I was challenged by my friend to pick a "word of the year" - my mantra so to speak for 2015.  You can read about it here:  http://dickybirdsnest.blogspot.com/2015/01/a-word-for-new-year.html

STEADFAST:  loyal, faithful, committed, devoted, dedicated, dependable, reliable, steady, true, constant, solid, trusty, firm, determined, unwavering 

My challenge was to "stay the course."  

Overall, I would say that was a good word for my year.  

I've been thinking about a word for 2016....I will be 50 in 2016....and have already been working on my "50 things to do before I'm 50"  - so I chose this word - NIFTY.

I know it's almost cliche "nifty to be 50" however, if I were to ever use this word or phrase it would be this year.  

NIFTY:  good, skillful, effective, smart, clever, stylish

Look for my themed posts this year:  "Nifty to be Thrifty;"  "Nifty to be 50;"  "Nifty Ideas;" "50 Things to do Before I Turn 50" and "Nifty to be 'Fitty' (fitness...weight loss ideas)"  

 I am looking forward to challenging myself this next year, becoming more skillful, effective and stylish....I'm already good and smart... lol

 I hope you following along with me this year....I'm excited for what the Lord has in store for my 2016.

 Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.

    OMG! I love this! I just turned 50 in November and spent the last three months before my birthday working on "50 Nice Things for Me before I turn 50." It was very fun and I am super glad I did that. You can read bout it on Franticmommy.com. Stopping by from SITS!
