A few years ago I chose to carry out a “word of the year”. As I began 2014, I looked forward to how the word “________“ would shape the coming year.

I planned to give a gift a day for the ________ year. Some gifts would take time to prepare. Some of the other gifts came about more ________, such as helping someone cross the street. But either way, I always tried to seek a(n) ________ to serve.

Some gifts in 2014 ________ reading to my next door’s kids. I ________ that as my gift of the day. My mind is still crowded with precious ________ now.

Twice I left a few coins ________ on the sidewalk for a kid to find. It may have ________ a few cents, but I considered it a chance to ________ another person’s day. Along the way, I also made my own day pleasant.

One of my most ________ gifts throughout the whole year was letting other ________ go ahead of me in line at stores. Once again, ________ standing in line at a store one day, my son told me somebody ________ us had only two things to ________ I signed to the person to take our place in line. The few ________ minutes of wait time passed with hardly realizing it. They were minutes passing ________.
