My 2016 Word of the Year
Have you ever heard of “Word of the Year?” It’s a unique practice designed to replace new year’s resolutions with one simple word to focus on for the year. I’ve chosen a word of the year since 2014, and it’s always neat to see how my word shows up in my life each year. In this blog post, I’m sharing the word I chose for 2016, and what I learned from it!
At the end of 2015, I was ready to search for a new word. 2015 was HARD. I call it “good-hard,” but we were exhausted. Still, I knew that all our hard work was worth it. As I began praying and looking for a new word, “Plenty” kept popping into my mind. And, honestly, it felt like a selfish word… so I questioned it (again). But it was clearly the word for the new year, and I was hopeful for a year of rest. (Especially after 2015!)
And man… it was a plentiful year. 😍
We woke up to this face almost every morning. 😍
We moved into our new home! We didn’t have a couch, but we were happy.
My small business thrived! I made journals…
… and Zeke scribbled in a few. 😁
Alex planted a garden, and Zeke helped. 😍
Alex and I snuck away for a few days on our 5th Anniversary!
And our first Christmas in our little house was simple and wonderful. 😍
