Taking a cue from Ruth over at
Two Writing Teachers, I've decided to do intentions rather than resolution. For some reason intentions seems much more do-able and if I don't met them all, I don't think I'll feel so much that I failed. So here are my intentions for 2010:
Another "page" that I'm borrowing from
Two Writing Teachers is the idea of One Little Word.
My word for 2010 is "explore"
–verb (used with object) 1. | to traverse or range over (a region, area, etc.) for the purpose of discovery: to explore the island. |
2. | to look into closely; scrutinize; examine: Let us explore the possibilities for improvement. |
3. | Surgery. to investigate into, esp. mechanically, as with a probe. |
4. | Obsolete. to search for; search out. |
–verb (used without object) 5. | to engage in exploration. |
Origin:
1575–85; < class="ital-inline">explōrāre to search out, examine, equiv. to
ex- ex- 1 +
plōrāre to cry out, prob. orig. with reference to hunting cries
I'm looking forward to what this year will bring.
