[…] In October of 2016 I had to go look at the plastic word I had custom-made to remember. My word was trust and I fondly reflected on doing the inner work to live that in the first quarter of […]

I always love reading your thoughtful posts, even when I don’t get to them in a timely fashion. I thought being retired would give me more time, and in some ways it has, but settling into a routine is more difficult than I expected. I couldn’t seem to decide on a word for this year, lots came to mind but did not resonate long. Given my inability to schedule, perhaps I should choose PLAN. Refresh has helped a lot, so maybe that will be my focus for 2016.

Great post. I love seeing what worked and didn’t work for other people. My word is Renew. I love that it has,p multiple meanings that all work.

Love this post Jennifer. My word for this year is COMPLETE. It began as inspiration to complete unfinished projects, but is also a goal to recognize a better version of myself. Maybe that’s me now or maybe I need to do some tweaking. I’m not really sure yet. I’m excited for Refresh!

Great post. I think my word is clean … clean eating, clean home, clean body (and hopefully lean body as well!).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and ideas with us. You often hit on the very thing I am struggling with and offer a lot of wisdom. I am excited about the Book Club. Don’t know anything about the 1st author, but had just stumbled on to the Happiness Project. When I bought the book for Feb, I was offered 22 weeks of emails to get me ready for the book. I have learned so much already…came just at the right time.
Last year was a difficult time for me and my family. I struggled to survive in so many areas…was considering giving up scrapbooking when I joined Simple Scrapper. I want to do more than survive… SO this year I am choosing “thrive” as my word.

Jennifer you are an inspiration! This post was so thoughtful and eloquent. I really savored it to let it sink in. I’m not doing one little word in paper form this year, but perhaps I can think of a word and mentally engage. A few years ago “accomplish ” was my word and maybe I will dust it off for 2016. I want to think about it in a positive sense, not just as as a “to do” list. More like a state of being, and just follow through. I deal with ADD so finishing and accomplishing can be challenging ????
