If I am telling the truth, I am feeling more apprehensive about the New Year. I felt that way the past couple of years though. Instead of apprehensive, I am going with the word Hope. Hope is defined as a feeling of expectation and desire for something to happen or a feeling of trust. I am going for the latter. I know good things as well as bad things will happen this year in my life and in the world. I am getting older, my mom is getting older. I am going to hope and pray this year brings us good things and when the bad things happen, I am going to trust everything to be ok. I know this is kind of depressing from me, but that is how I am feeling as I write this. I really think that we need to plan some things to look forward to. Weekend trips, theater, movie night. It could be anything. I want it to be a vacation at some point. Just things to look forward to.
Anyway, Josh finished work yesterday (New Year's Eve). He will be off until March. I am glad for him to have a break. I love having breaks from work. It is a time to rest and refresh.
I am trying to get in one more book before I go back to work on Tuesday. I am reading The Dutch House by Ann Patchett. It is really good so far.
I hope you all have a great New Year!
What a wonderful word! Wishing you a beautiful happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHope is a great word and we all need a bunch of hope going forward! I HOPE you get that much needed vacation, Lori. Keep us posted!! xo
ReplyDeleteA wonderful word for the year. The Dutch House audio is narrated by Tom Hanks--it was amazing!
ReplyDeleteHope is a great word and I had it in 2021. I had Peace for 2020. Praying for you to have both! Happy New Year!
ReplyDelete"I am going to trust everything to be ok." I think that's a terrific sentiment, and hope is a wonderful word.
