Walking after you....

Someone suggested on their blog (who WAS it???) that we should each choose a word that we embrace for this year. I have thought long and hard about this.

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.
