When the story ends, the one that's in my head

So, it's over halfway through December, but I'm going to do these because I want to and I have time. I'll just do them quickly.

December 1 - One Word.
Encapsulate the year 2010 in one word. Explain why you’re choosing that word. Now, imagine it’s one year from today, what would you like the word to be that captures 2011 for you?

I know the feeling I'd like to encapsulate (heh), but I'm not quite sure what the best word is. Let me think. I think I'm going to say LIGHT. This has a couple different meanings. It refers to the rays of light that finally penetrated the dark fog in front of my eyes. It refers the lightened feeling that comes from being conscious and alive, no longer being someone whose every step and action is heavy, sticky, slow. It refers to the removal of pressure, pressure that kept me tightly compressed and cold like a stone.

And what do I want one year from today? So many things, but the word I will go with is WHOLE.
