The words.

What an amazing list! My word is vibrant. Courage, finish, and health were all in the running, too. Vibrant just seemed the best. I have taken many steps over the last few years to reclaim my health after several surgeries and vibrant just seemed the best. I want to feel energetic and enthusiastic every day, and to bring that feeling to whatever I do. I am taking a picture a day for 2008. What a wonderful idea. I think at the end of the year I may scrap a few of the favorites and put those pages along with the rest of the photos into one album. I am very excited about it. Thank you so much for all your inspiration.

Wow! After reading all the words I felt like changing mine many times. :) My word this year is 'more' which I noticed isn't on the list. I finally made my final decision and will blog about it soon. Be more. Live more. Love more. Create more. Pray more...and on it goes.
Thanks to you and all your readers for the inspiration!

Look at the impact you've had on us all with that list... I'd say you've already shown how "vital" you are in our worlds!
:)

Amazine list of words. Can you tell us what font "Vitality" is in? Love that font.

I think my word/phrase for this year is going to "One Less".
From the Gardasil commercial. Several years ago I was told by my old OB that I had HPV. Those words hit home for me. I wrote more about it at my blog if you or anyone wants to check it out!

hey ali!
great list. love to see all the different words. my word for 2008 is "order".
thnx, maryjo in ca

Beginnings is my word for the year. As a reforming perfectionist it is a comforting word. I am on a journey ... everything I do has a beginning. I don't have worry about the perfect completion but I can enjoy the process. It may not make sense to anyone else but it resounds in my spirit.

Fantastic list! My word is OBSERVE.
:)

Love this idea. My word for the year is *FOUNDATIONS*.

Mine is a phrase - a combination of words you have listed... Simple Focus

Wow... what an inspiring list of words.

Like last year it is an amazing impressive list. I haven't chosen my word yet. Will do though. Of course.

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.

Wow! What an amazing list of words

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.

Wow! What an amazing list!!

WOW - what a list - thanks so much for taking the time to put it together - Fantastic list !!!! so INSPIRING !!!!

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.

Yep - as you might have surmised from my email, mine is celebrate. Celebrate in '08! :)

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. :-)

It's always cool to read through everyones posts about their words and what they mean to them. And really cool to see the whole list as you laid out in this post! thanks for taking the time to compile it!
