Regex: Find a word starts with one plus sign but not with two plus signs

I lost a hope to find a solution by myself..

I need a regex to find a word(w) in a text which start with plus sign (+), but ignore words which start with 2 or more plus signs,

i.e. in string

"+aaa +bbb ++ccc ddd eee+ fff++ +ggg hhh"

it should find

"aaa, bbb, ggg"

Thanks for any help

2.  [1-4]   `aaa`
MATCH 2
1.  [4-5]   ` `
2.  [6-9]   `bbb`
MATCH 3
