For your information
There is not usually a hyphen in the word wellbeing in the United Kingdom and Australia, but speakers in the United States and Canada prefer having a hyphen, as I did in the title. The illustration above comes from the folks at Action for Happiness, which is located in England.

Words are as fascinating to me as life itself.
Hi there Bonnie! In South Africa, we mainly use The Queen's English. So we also don't use the hyphen.
Wellbeing is an excellent choice for this year. We can all do by taking better care of our wellbeing.
Thanks for joining WWW!!
