I like the word 'thrive'.

There's plans afoot in my part of the world to start something new in our neighbourhood, and thrive is the word in my head over the last few days once again and would I'd love the project to be referred to by this one word. But it's not all my decision as to what the name will be but I would dream that helping others to thrive is the very least the project would achieve in this community.

So here's the etymological bit:

thrive (thrv)
intr.v. thrived or throve (thrv), thrived or thriv·en (thrvn), thriv·ing, thrives
1. To make steady progress; prosper.
2. To grow vigourously; flourish

I like that the word is realistic- you can't grow vigourously without first making steady progress.

I pray that for you, today would bring steady progress that leads to you growing vigourously. Flourishing.

In short, that you would thrive.
