Mine are “Patience” and “Memory”.

Last year it was “Growth” and amazingly enough, it was a year of great growth.

This last 8 weeks trying to let my stress fracture heal has required a lot of patience and it’s not over yet. So, today I thought that this must be the lesson I am to learn for the coming year.

As for the second word, memory, I was writing a phrase “given my memory” when I realized that this will be a year for my memory. it will improve and there will be many wonderful memories. It’s great when you can apply one word to multiple meanings!

Make your words focal points in your activities. Periodically reflect on them (use my reflection journal to help with that).

Share your words (or maybe just one) with us if you feel like it…It will be fun to see what each person feels is so important they can put it in a single word.

Happy New Year!
