Laura: What Were Your Top Words of 2010?

By
Last week I shared an epiphany that came to me: Your future is only as big as you dare to dream.

If you have big dreams for your future (I know you do!), have you taken a careful look at your words/thoughts/actions to make sure they are in line with what you are dreaming about?

As I was reviewing my Facebook apps, I came across an app called “Top 10 Words of 2010”.  I remembered installing it several months ago.   I thought it would be neat to review my Top 10 Words in 2010 one more time, to see if they in any way helped shape where I am in 2011.  While we may not be able to control everything that comes our way, we can control our attitude.  I have found many trials I have faced have helped shape me into the person that I am today. It’s difficult to feel grateful and hopeful when we are in the midst of a painful situation, which is why I think it’s so important to recite positive words/phrases and be gentle to ourselves as we get through those times.   

Here are my top 10 words used on Facebook in 2010, along with an analysis of each word.
I. am. amazed.
