Continue ~ 2025 Word of the Year

 

 

Hello Friends, my husband encouraged me to choose a word of the year in 2022.

2022 I chose, SUNSHINE. I wanted to make it a goal to spread sunshine. To be a source of cheer and happiness.

2023 I chose, TRUTH. There was so much happening in our nation, world, and there still is.  I wanted to be careful of what I took in as truth. I wanted to be slow to jump on the bandwagon, be sure to find facts if I could and navigate my own decision on the current event.  

2024 I chose, COURAGE. I had a scare with my neighbors boyfriend in the summer of 2023, which left me shaky and not trusting of anyone. It took time to heal from the situation. I needed to concentrate on having courage. 

2025 I will be choosing, CONTINUE. I will continue to spread sunshine, seek truth, and step out in our big world with courage.

I will continue to be grateful. 

I will continue to hit pause and enjoy the little things.

I will continue to strive to reach goals and accomplishments.

I will continue to smile more.

Carla

  2. What a brilliant wonderful word of the year Carla. This is the best 2025 word of the year I have heard about. I might have to secretly steal your mantra and keep it to myself. Hope you have a great week. Janice
