It's About Time!

Folks: (It's Official)

'Blog' is dictionary's top word for 2004: A four-letter term that came to symbolize the difference between old and new media during this year's presidential campaign tops U.S. dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster's list of the 10 words of the year. Merriam-Webster Inc. said on Tuesday that blog, defined as "a Web site that contains an online personal journal with reflections, comments and often hyperlinks," was one of the most looked-up words on its Internet sites this year. Eight entries on the publisher's top-10 list related to major news events, from the presidential election -- represented by words such as incumbent and partisan -- to natural phenomena such as hurricane and cicada. Springfield, Massachusetts-based Merriam-Webster compiles the list each year by taking the most researched words on its Web sites and then excluding perennials such as affect/effect and profanity.

Best,

Jim

Some Thoughts to Guide Us

We have high standards and expectations for both
ourselves and those with whom we come in contact with.

We won’t compromise!

We dare to dream of truly making a difference in our lives.

We are restless individuals, innovative thinkers.

We don’t want to conform to the world around us, when that world has limited expectations of what we can do or achieve.

We challenge ourselves to think differently, innovate, and
not merely adjust to our environment.

We are comfortable in a space with motion, action and
innovative thinking.

We help ourselves find our true passions, develop our unique, special talents; and ensure we develop certainty in our ability
to overcome obstacles and achieve our dreams.

We create space for ourselves to find and develop
belief in our own potential.

We create special, positive moments where we have a
realization or experience that positively affects our life,
forever.

We seek the real barriers that prevent us from learning,
i.e., helping ourselves learn the skills, gain the knowledge,
and develop our abilities to be problem solvers and
life-long learners.

We never see ourselves only as a statistic or number,
but as worthy of the recognition of
our own individuality.

We strive to instill and keep the joy in learning.

We are willing to find the
individual magic residing in each of us.

We are dream makers, not dream breakers.

We are higer ordered thinkers.

We are our future!
