Back in 2012 I decided to publish the first Accentuate the Positive Geneameme. I had seen several genies reflecting on their failures and wanted them to celebrate their successes. I said:
"You are a bunch of highly motivated people who have made great strides in the genealogy sphere. Let's share the good news."
For the 2025 challenge I have decided to move away from prompts that relate to particular situations and resources to a list focusing on our reactions to particular verbs as we reflect on our family history journey.
I encourage you to respond on social media or in a text document to the prompts from the list below - please delete the statements that are not relevant to your situation.
Once you have done so please share your post's link in a comment on this post or send your link or text document via email to jillballau@gmail.com or via social media. I will, when I return from the high seas in late January, compile a list of links to your contributions here on this blog.
Remember to Accentuate the Positive

Thanks Jill. I was hoping you were planning to do a Geneameme this year. I’ll get on to it
Thanks for you support Jennifer,
I love the photo at the head of your blog! I'm happy once again to participate in your Accentuate the Positive meme. It is good to reflect on the good things we have found/done/accomplished with our genealogies. Here's my input on it: https://karenaboutgenealogy.blogspot.com/2025/12/geniauss-accentuate-positive-for-2025.html
