Lots of people are choosing a Word of the Year.

I am not. It overwhelms me to think of how one word can guide me, but kudos and respect to those who find a word that resonates with them.

What’s the point?

I have other things on my mind. Trying to gather some favorite memories from January feels like a challenge as I want to post each and every moment in time. We had the best month despite some bumps in the road. Those things are to share over coffee or a long phone call together.

Not here.

I am in a good place. I feel like January bounced me back to the place I know. I see my grandkids often, my exercise routine includes sunrise hikes a few days a week, and road-trips in our Turtleback are a blast. I have more time to volunteer, and life is moving along.

January’s memories? I decided a collage of 31 images from the month would point me in the right direction.

And then I realized there were a lot of points to that word debate. I guess January taught me that. There were: viewpoints, waypoints, making points, Yavapai Point, Font’s Point, Weight Watcher points, pointless, pointy, points of interest, starting points, brownie points, pencil points, prickly points, on point, point of no return (so I thought), and points taken.

I looked through the 31 images again, wondering if they were the ones that I want to look back on one day.

And my WOTY came to mind. It is not what you think. I had to take a closer look at the photos to pinpoint my vision, and grab my personal inspiration and guide for 2022.

The word?
