My Word for 2015 came to me on a walk in the park with Winchester.
To me, SAVOR references PRESENT, my word for 2014, but feels more specific.
- It means mindfulness of the moment.
- It means taking moments to assess and reflect.
- It means wandering off the path sometimes.
- It means letting go and jumping in.
- It probably means some things I can’t quite identify yet, but I will savor discovering them.
Happy New Year! I hope it brings you much to savor.

Beautiful word. I'm still pondering my word for 2015. Nothing feels just right yet, but it will come to me (I hope!).
I'm not kidding about being led to this one by my dog! He savors EVERYTHING.

I know that I don't savor enough and need to stop and do that, hopefully my two words this year: focus and equilibrium will help me to be able to savor.
I suspect they will. Happy 2015!
That's something I need to work on too. Happy New Year!
Let's see how it works out :-). Happy New Year, Kathy!
Wonderful word! I learned how to do this more a few years ago and I swear I am much less crazy now. Before I was going a mile a minute all of the time, not thinking I would never see someone again, or do something again, not stopping to smell the roses or even see them as I whizzed past. I learned mindfulness techniques in college but did not really apply them until about 7 years later. It is nice to remind ourselves that life is meant to be enjoyed not just survived!
There are situations where it's hard to find much worth savoring, so this is probably not going to work all the time, but I do think it's worth working ON.
GREAT word!
Hope it gives me something to live up to!
Good word choice! I'm going with "See" – which has some of the same connotations, I think. Happy 2015!
I think it does, too. Happy New Year, Alison!
Great word for the year! Happy savor-ful new year
You too! Maybe it's a sign I should join in on Weekend Cooking a few times this year :-).
Savor is good way to describe what I feel when I hike. Often I push my body to overcome emotional stressors I experience from daily life and work. Literally it feels like I'm detoxing. Once the peak is reached a sense of calmness takes over my body and I'm able to savor the space around me and people who occupy that space with me. It's a wonderful feeling – one I seek each weekend. Savor…love it!
Love this word! I, sadly, cannot even remember what my word was for 2014. Clearly I did not make it the focus I should have. Hope you can that that with savor!
Thanks–I hope so, too! Blogging it, journaling it, and putting it on Facebook may help me keep it in mind 🙂
I like this word!! I hope you have a lot of savoring in 2015!
