WEverb11 #1: Choose One Word

So I stumbled upon this idea through several of the blogs I have in my blogger dashboard, and I really like it.  It is called WEverb11 and they give you prompt for every day in December to reflect on the year that is 2011 and you can utilize all the prompts or pick what you want.  Here's more info on WEverb11 if you want to know more:

Choose one word. Choose one word. Encapsulate the year 2011 in one word. Explain why. Imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2012 for you? I must say my word is Stagnate. I hate that it is a negative word, I really, I really do.  I began the year with such hopeful intention.  There are certain things that I had hoped to achieve by now - in my personal life and in my professional life.  I can't help but wonder where (and why) I stalled.  Sure, some things I obviously have no control over and despite my best efforts have just not happened for me. For us.  And that lack of development has been devastating in a way that really surprises me.  Some things I had partial control of and I just didn't follow through.  I thought I'd have mustered the willpower to finally finish my thesis, and here I am, basically in the same exact place I stopped in the last two thesis efforts.  I did make some stride with my career, but after the past few weeks I wonder if there will honestly be more momentum to come.  Again - I'm stagnate. One year from today I want my word to be Satisfied.  Not happy...satisfied.  I think I have many moments of happiness, but I really want 2012 to be about satisfying things that I put off for so long that I think about constantly.
