Reviewing my words for 2011on 11/11/11

In February this year I put together my “11 words for 2011”. Being the eleventh day of the eleventh month I think it timeous to review these. After all – there is still time to work on any issues I have strayed on. As I said back then, these would be ‘a list I can refer back to through the year and check that I’m still heading in the right direction’.
So … here are my “11 words for 2011” – in no particular order, just as they came to me – followed by my thoughts on how well I have done thus far:
1) CALM – oh yeah! Done good! Yes! Calm. Yeah right … calm like a jitterbug on uppers.
2) PEACEFUL – as per number (1) – didn’t quite get this one either … about as peaceful as a Jack Russell with a squeaky toy.
3) THOUGHTFUL – oooohhhmmmmm … still thinking about this one…
4) GENEROUS – I have a newly acquired generous spread around my middle – does that count? Generous with my thoughts though! Actually, I think this one I can give myself a thumbs-up on.
5) SUPPORTIVE – hey, now I’m 50, supportive means underwear – got that. Have had to do quite a bit of supporting this year, more than expected.
6) UNCOMPETITIVE – what was I thinking? Do any of you actually know me? That was dead in the starting blocks – right?
7) MENTORING – yip, but room for improvement.
8) CONSOLIDATING – have managed to keep my head under the parapet this year … next year will be time to move and shake a bit!
9) KIND – kind of. My thoughts often escape out of my mouth before I have time to hammer them into a softer shape though…
10) FAMILY-ORIENTATED – done that, got the T.
11) FOCUSSED (on my 11 words.) Don’t think I’ve done too badly – plenty of room for improvement too. My focus has had balance, evidenced by growing my work portfolio, growing the CSI initiatives at work, getting my mother through discovering her cancer has returned, joining our local neighbourhood watch and actually getting to blog, see friends, spend time with our six wonderful animals and loving my beautiful girls and incredible husband as often and as much as possible. 2011 has been great so far – let’s head off and celebrate it this festive season!
