My word for the year is going to be FOCUS. I've done fairly well with my goals and my lists, but I have room for improvement. Sometimes I just need to stay on track and be more disciplined. I think focus will help me with the steps along the way.

It is a good word... Thats my word too and I thought long and hard this year.. each month I will Focus on something in particular.. but overall for the year thats what it will be... January is Focus/Self.. February is Focus/Friends... March is blank right now.. April is Focus/ Easter... May is Focus/Home... June is Focus/Family... and the rest of the summer is blank for now.. October is Focus/Halloween.. November is Focus/Thanksgiving.. and of Course December Focus/Christmas...
Thanks All! 
Dakotasmamaw, interesting way to break it down. A summer focus could be outside if you are into gardening or swimming/beach/hiking/etc.

Wow, the more of these that I read, the more convinced I am that this plan is much better than resolutions. I look forward to sharing your journey this year.
I do have resolutions too or rather my list of goals and tasks for the year. I will share that list here as well since it is my goals and focus list. (Last year, I finished 9 of 10 lists so this has been successful for me in the past).
My Goals & Focus for 2011
* Read more books in 2011 than I did in 2010 (40 books in 2010).
* Complete at least 90% of my “101 in 1001” Project. (28 items by May12)--
* Run and finish Half Marathon with a better time than 2010.
* Improve my 10k personal record time.
* Mileage goal: run 600 miles (stretch goal 650).
* Finish and order my Family 365 photo book through Blurb.
* Get two photo albums completed (pics printed, labelled and into books)
* Finish edits on 2 novels.
* Write a new novel.
* Finish work on the basement (baseboards, curtains, shelves, declutter)
-- 101 in 1001 is a project similar to a bucket list but not so morbid. The idea is to make a list of 101 things to do in 1001 days. There are many posts on the net about this project.
