this is a list of things I am going to work on during the year.  I decided I was going to use the word  GOODNESS  as my word of the year,

good⋅ness – noun
1. the state or quality of being good.
2. moral excellence; virtue.
3. kindly feeling; kindness; generosity.
4. excellence of quality: goodness of workmanship.
5. the best part of anything; essence; strength.
6. a euphemism for God: Thank goodness!
