Describing Oneself: Can You Do It in One Word?

"What one word describes you best?" The first question from the Bucket of Wonderment. Yes, a thinking question.


"What one word describes you best?" It is easy to come up with several words, but focusing on just one can be hard to do. Think about it yourself. Can you come up with just one word? Is it the first word that pops in your head? The 2nd? 3rd? Or 10th?


It is that one word you connect to most. It is also a word that might change day to day or even hour by hour. It might be dependent on your mood, the time of day, who you are with or where you are at in your life.


What one word describes you at this moment in time? At Wine, Women & Conversation, we had an undecided, an indecisive, an analyzer, a different, a moxie and a compassion. Each woman discussed why she chose that word, followed by the group discussing how each related to the word and asking questions about why that word. What is it that drives one to that word?


As with discussion, one looks deeper within themselves and even can change that one word. The one who said indecisive switched to inspired. Sometimes we think of one word and think that is the one. This is why conversation is important amongst each other. It is an opportunity to talk what we are thinking and see things even clearer from others suggesting or giving us other words to ponder and see how we relate to them.


So what one word describes you at this moment in time? Currently for me, "misplaced."
