I don’t typically choose a word for the year – I’ve only done so once before. But, since this year is a very special year, I felt compelled to choose one.
What is so special about 2017? We are adding a member to our family! My daughter is marrying the love of her life; expanding our family by one.
Of course, the feeling is bittersweet…my baby is moving on and I will not be with her every day. But, it is comforting to know she will be taken care of by a wonderful guy and, I am extremely lucky she has chosen to live nearby.
At first I thought I might use the word family for my word of the year. But, after spending some time thinking about it, I decided the perfect word to be treasure. As a verb, treasure is “to regard or treat as precious; cherish.” That’s my word. And, with synonyms like value and esteem…this word is perfect!
I know 2017 will be a fabulously fun, exciting, and emotion-filled year! xo I look forward to sharing it with you! :)
Did you pick a word for the year? I hope today’s Friday field trip has inspired you to think about your year ahead and, if it feels right, to choose a word for the year.
Have a wonderful weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
