My first thought was "walk" -- but it didn't quite seem right..... but close.
So I looked up some synonyms:
"advance, amble, go, hit the road, hoof it, knock about, lumber, march, meander, parade, patrol, perambulate, plod, prance, promenade, race, roam, rove, run, saunter, scuff, shamble, shuffle, slog, stalk, step, stride, stroll, strut, toddle, tour, traipse, tramp, traverse, tread, trek, trudge, wander, wend one’s way.
I narrowed it down to
advance (shouldn't I be advancing???) (it sounds too "advanced")
meander (that's pretty much how I make it to a destination)
roam (I just love the song by the B52s)
wander (All who wander are not lost)
I've decided on meander -- it sounds less flaky.....
So, here I am, meandering through 2009.
me·an·der
intr.v. me·an·dered, me·an·der·ing, me·an·ders
me·an'der·er n., me·an'der·ing·ly adv., me·an'drous (-drÉ™s) adj. |
That's my mommy and I in the photo. Happy Birthday Mom! See you soon!

That collage is so pretty! I love your word for 2009. I think I'd like to meander through life too!
Thanks so much for visiting me through OWOH! Good luck!
Meander is a wonderful word. Your collage is lovely.

I like the word meander too :-D
love the collage you did for your mom
In my advanced years, I'd rather like to hoof it.. as long as I can( if hoofing it means a bit of a dance). But I think it means "picking up the pace"
Thank's for the birthday message
Meander is a beautiful word.
We've had good meanders.
Love Mom.
I also have chosen a word for this year--mine is "balance."
