The words.
Tags:Went through all the comments from the last few days tonight and collected all the words. Reading your words + your reasons were uplifting + inspiring. Thank you for sharing. If I missed your word leave a note in the comments section and I will add it to this list.
And there is always time to choose a word if you have not done so yet.

QUESTION!! That is the word I chose. Question people you expect things from, question your family to reach higher for themselves, question your employer, question anyone that questions your motives, aspirations, abilities, question those who take care/teach your children, question the medical society to give you straight answers. It is our place to question so that we can accept.

My word is "together". We have had a move, new jobs and several family illnesses this year. My husband and I are in the mindset that what ever happens to us, no matter where we live or what we are doing we just need to enjoy the fact that we are all recovering and we are together living life!

Ali, I'm sorry, I couldn't stick to one word. (Maybe my word should be 'restraint'?) But I love the idea of inspirational words so much and have got so much from what you and everyone else has written on your blog. I have made a little book with my 12 words...here... http://divingforpearls.typepad.com/my_weblog/2008/01/words-and-resol.html
and my final word is...thankyou.

My word is GROW. I am making this box to journal how this is linked to the important parts of my life this coming year. Thanks for reminding me the beauty of everyday little things. Have a wonderful 2008 year full of "growing" experiences.

Ali, my word last year was "ORDER" and I'm keeping it for another year, since I didn't make as much progress on this front as I'd hoped! Here's to a productive and meaningful 2008! Thanks so much for the inspiration you provide every day. :-)

I forget to reply with my word! I saw forms of it - but mine is "intention" as in "live with intention." Last night I did an art journal entry with my "one little phrase" and did a visual reminder by my desk - so fun.

Thanks, Ali, for the inspiration!!
