Anyone else been thinking about their word for 2016?

I've got a few in mind but need to narrow it down. I'd love to hear what word and why you've chosen it.....
 
ahhh...I'm working on this too. Do you pick a word just for yourself or take Ali's class?

Two years ago it was "kind". Last year "joy". This year needs to be a take action word. I'm having a hard time. Something like produce ... I don't know ...
 
I think my word (our family`s word) will be "CHANGE"
Hubby and I are losing weight and getting into shape, our little boy will be a big boy in Jr high this next school year (he has autism and we have no idea how Jr high will go) Our adult son will be moving out and hopefully my adult daughter will get her life together and change things for herself as well. We anticipate lots of changes, and hopefully for the positive!

If I were to have a word... I think mine would be "DO" (as in... put plans into action!). But I don't know that I'll make any sort of big thing about that word specifically. I just have lots of plans... and should DO them. :giggle

I like that one too. It's on my short list.

I just pick a word for myself, I've done it for a few years and then I usually make a layout to remind myself of my word
 
My word for 2016 is definitely "change". Changing medications in the new year to hopefully - no definitely get my RA in remission. Getting in shape, retirement, etc. Lots of change on my horizon for 2016. And I'm thinking all positive!
 
I'm thinking about GO or MOVE. Because they're action words but can mean a lot of diferent things.
I want this year to be physically more active but also socially. Both words would work but I like the last better.
 
Focus - as in focus on ME. I want to FOCUS on getting in shape, FOCUS on loosing weight and FOCUS on improving my life in general.
 
Did you know you can assign a word to someone? Well I don't think you can. But I totally did, @gypsystar :giggle

This is to distract from the fact that I haven't chosen mine yet.

I'm waiting for it to choose me. My past years have been:

2012: Begin (worked beautifully)
2013: Create (yessss!!!!)
2014: Transition (I made so much progress transitioning between tasks better!)
2015: Simplify

This past year was the first time I've kind of fizzled out and not worked on my OLW. So for 2016 I need a good one. I'm working on it. :)
 
My word for 2016 is Committed.

It's for many reasons. I ordered a set of acrylic and wood pieces with my word so I can display them throughout my PL and home as reminders and hopefully stay on track this year.

I LOVE this idea!! I am still kicking around ideas, but so far "ENJOY" is winning out. I want to stop worrying about what's right or wrong or good or bad and just enjoy the things that are.

I haven't really had a OLW in the past but @Lena Gardner has given me one this year.

I'm super shy and introverted so sometimes it's hard for me to post in forums and social media but I'm going to try and make more of an effort. Especially here :D!
