2011 is going to end. Would you describe this year of you in one word？

I am first.
Bittersweet is my word.

Enlightening! Was an amazing year. Creative and transformative also came to mind but mostly was very revealing.

I'll say challenging - there was a LOT going on and a lot of times that I was very behind on my chosen tasks. I am striving to get things more streamlined so I can catch up.

Tough

PAINFULL

I'll agree with Monica. The word that came to mind though was "growth".

Phenomenal !

Just to consider the weight of a 5-gal. bucket of water, and how fast the sun clears the horizon -- and the fact that scientists still don't REALLY Know how the sun has been producing that amount of energy for soooo long..

I'd say phenomenal.
