Every year I make the same New Year’s resolution, which is not to make any resolutions. I blow them by February anyway. Here’s an idea for the new year that doesn’t leave me feeling bad about myself. I pick a word for the year. It’s a guiding star, kind of a Star of Bethlehem for the wise person I aspire to be. |
After my friend Pam told me about word picking (Thanks, Pam), I added the idea to my computer’s calendar so I’d remember every year.
My brain’s been addled from too much multitasking, so this year I picked "focus." It’s only January 4th, and already I’m focusing more, multitasking less.
Then two more good words jumped onboard: "completion" and "connection." When I told Gaelyn about connection, she cheered and hugged me. Connection is working its magic already.
OK, your turn….What word — or words — sing to you, inspire you to be a better person this year? Please share your words in the comment section so the rest of us can be inspired, too.
BONUS: Use this word-of-the-year idea as a conversation question.

Ha, Tracey! My word is also “connection”!
When I saw your response, I laughed out loud. Are we connected, or what?! I hope you’re also enjoying the connection to your new digs.
