One Little Word 2013 edition

As 2012 was drawing to a close I began thinking about what word I wanted to focus on this year.  I was drawn to the following but none of them were feeling right...

* dream
* grow
* celebrate
* explore
* fierce - brave

On the main day of my word quest I ended up in the garage talking to Boyd and said I was thinking of using dream but didn't really want to since I've used it before. I was a little drawn to Grow but it didn't feel right.  He threw out a few and then he said....

PROSPER

After pondering it for a day it totally fits what I (we) want for the year! To become strong and flourish and to succeed/thrive!
