Open 2017

My guiding theme for 2017 will be Open.

Some years, choosing the theme word for the year involves a lot of thesaurus consulting, debating and mind-changing. But this year it came to me in a flash and I haven’t considered anything else. Open is just right: honest, undecided, unobstructed, obvious, objective. I may find myself beginning something new, or exposing something hidden. 

Here are my guiding words and themes for previous years:

2009, no shopping: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/archives/010634.html

2011, relate: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2010/12/reverb-1.html

2012, engage: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2011/12/engage.html

2013, move: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2012/12/move-2013.html

2014, develop: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2013/12/develop-2014.html

2015, explore: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2014/12/explore-2015.html

2016, realise: https://mt.mediatinker.com/blog/2015/12/realise.html

Last year, I noticed a two year lag in the words and it seems to have held true again. Though my theme for 2016 was “realise,” I feel that 2014’s “develop” was more appropriate. So I suspect 2017 will be all about “explore” and with our new driver’s licenses, Tod & I already have plans to do that.
