Every December I choose a watchword for the new year and review my previous year’s word choice. Last year, my word was embrace. It was a perfect word for what was to become a measured period of time. 2020 will be easy to remember in years to come. Did I embrace it? Mostly, yes. Even the pandemic. But truthfully, I’ve come to despise all things Covid.
2020: What I Embraced
Trips to Denver. Friendships. Helping on local campaign for sheriff. Slowing down. Zoom. FaceTime. Chair time. Walks with my dog. Podcasts. Netflix. Hulu. Sunshine. Good food. Phone calls.
2020: What I Let Go
My friend, Linda, died in April. My border collie, Abbie, died. Facebook. Old ideas.
. . .
My watchword for 2021 is ASK.
Do you have a watchword for 2021? Tell me.
Love, susan
My theme word for 2021: Refresh. I need to bring a fresh outlook to so many areas of my life. And I literally need more fresh air.
ReplyDeleteThat's fitting for this new year!
