WORD OF THE YEAR

 It's that time once again
where I choose a word to be my word for the year.
I have been thinking a lot about the best word for 2025
and have decided on:
NOSTALGIA/NOSTALGIC
Webster's gives the definition:
thinking fondly of a past time or condition.
I came to this word a week ago when 
watching a short video of my Momma singing to Jilly
when she was a baby.
If I could tell my younger self something it would be
to listen to the stories of your elders, document them.
I was 20 when my Daddy died and there is so much
I don't remember. Mom lived to be 92 and 
although I have great memories, I still wish I had 
taken more photos, more videos.
Therefore my goal of this year is not only to document
 things of my past but to also put into words parts of
myself so that my children and grand girls will have 
a place to go for memories once I am gone.
It is a big reason why I have restarted my blog.
Although I journal a lot and always have,
in the world of technology my grandgirls will likely
come to the internet after I am gone to read my words.
OTHER THINGS I AM FOCUSING ON THIS YEAR:
MORE SLEEP
MORE MUSIC
MORE VISITS
MORE BOOKS
MORE CREATING
MORE WALKS
MORE ORGANIZATION
MORE LAUGHTER
MORE HUGS
MORE DREAMING
MORE FUN
MORE LOVE...
Thanks for joining me on this year adventure
where I rediscover the past and document for the future.
