This Year look for potential

"We spend January 1 walking through our lives, room by room, 

drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, 

to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives ... 

not looking for flaws, but for potential."

Ellen Goodman

14th Annual 

One Word; One Year Project

What will your word(s) or MOTTO be for 2022?

Now that the winter solstice has passed, New Year's Day is almost here!!! So, it may be time to reflect on the past 12 months (be gentle with yourself) and more importantly, come up with your guiding WORD(s) or MOTTO for 2022! (a Quote of the Week Project since 2008!)

This word will guide you and sum up the essence and focus for the next 365 days of your life. Hopefully, it will inspire you on what you want "TO BE" as opposed to what you need "TO DO" and maybe it will allow you to step back and look at the BIG picture:

Some helpful questions that may help you decide…

What do I want to feel this coming year?

What kind of experiences do I want to have?

What results, effects, or changes do I want to see?

What do I want to create in this New Year? 

What do I want to let go of?

 

So, what will be your word or phrase that will guide you through 2022? Please Share!

 A Motto from a famous Christmas movie

that points out that things of true worth are not measured

 in dollars, but in the currency of friendship and family, 

and the good karma one puts out into the world.

“All you can take with you

is that which you’ve given away.”

From the Movie, It's a Wonderful Life

 On Gratitude

"Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. 

It turns what we have into enough, and more. 

It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. 

It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. 

Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow."
