Sunshine

 Hello Friends,

In years past I have never picked out a word of the year. Many blog friends do. I always enjoy hearing the word they decide on and why.

This year my husband challenged me to pick out a word for the year.

And so I did..

SUNSHINE

♥ BRIGHTNESS OR RADIANCE

 ♥ CHEERFULNESS OR HAPPINESS

 ♥ A SOURCE OF CHEER OR HAPPINESS

 

 

After my husband challenged me to decide on a word for 2022, I started to think of what I want to see more of in 2022. Sadly, we have all seen a great deal of ugly, sickness and depression for the past two years. We need to break out of it.. we need sunshine.

I pray that I can be that sunshine.

Sunshine

♥ brightness or radiance ~ praying I can be a bright spot in someone's day

 ♥ cheerfulness or happiness ~ praying I can spread cheerfulness or happiness

 ♥ a source of cheer or happiness ~ praying I can be that source of cheer or happiness for that someone who really needs it

  1. You are all of those things to this blog friend, Carla. What a wonderful word, and I could really use some sunshine right about now up here in the mountains - it's been very cold, but the sun comes out every now and then, and I love it. The photos you shared today are so pretty. I hope you get some sun shining on your face during these cold Winter months.

  5. Beautiful sentiments; I too want to be a sunny spot in another one's life. We can all do with a little sunshine and inner sunshine is most certainly the best.

  13. I LOVE it, Carla. That used to be my nickname when I was a kid and I kind of outgrew it-but as an adult- when I moved to WI my next door neighbor started calling me that. I loved it. xo Diana

  18. I've heard a few people on blogs refer to a word for the year, never came across that before; but like your choice of sunshine. I'm seeing some today out my window. Which is quite nice given how much snow fell the last couple of days around the country. Thankfully not here, not where hubby and I are vacationing. Home, well that's a different story. But, that's why we like to leave home this time of the year to get away from the ugly, cold, and snow.
