For those of us who are struggling to put together a mission statement at work, I think this is a capital idea! We could put our words on t-shirts instead of pillows - can't promote sleeping in class, yanno. (And I just love the clean graphic quality of this, too!)
The ten words I'd put on my own personal credo pillow (in no particular order):
1. open
2. curious
3. balanced
4. sincere
5. literate
6. light-hearted
7. striving
8. connected
9. passionate
10. fascinated
Not that I manage to be all those things every day, but they're what I shoot for. (See #7.) Today, for example, I think I only managed to muster up about two of these. Briefly.
Anyone else wanna share their pillow words?

As a person who has gone through the mission statement process with you I think you really have something here. Many of your words resonated with me but I don't want to be a copy cat. Here's my list

2. bright
3. graphic
4. artistic
5. curious
6. amazed
7. restless
8. ever changing
9. surprising
10. comforting
That's how I see myself. Thanks for the opportunity to share.
what? no 'crazed' ?!
January 7, 2009 at 3:41 PMChad was that comment for me or our gracious blog hostess?
January 7, 2009 at 7:45 PMFor myself, I may at times feel crazed but it by no means defines my person. I have medication that helps. I'm serious I really do. They are very good.
Anyway I couldn't help notice you didn't share your ten words. You aren't chicken are you? Afraid to bare your soul? I hope not.
Oh and thanks for being one of my followers. :)
well "crazed" for the gracious host (holicrazed and all).
January 7, 2009 at 10:30 PMunfortunately my list has 0 words on it because i'm a guy and we're not that complicated. my list has maybe a couple syllables and maybe a noise here or there
Actually, "crazed" is on the reverse side of my pillow, with the other words that I don't always want to be but somehow end up being anyway some of the time.
January 8, 2009 at 10:32 AMOthers on the B side include: ill-mannered, aloof, vindictive, envious, lazy, self-centered, bitter, frustrated, and impatient.
At least I'm honest about it, eh?
other side of the pillow, i like it
