My 2023 Word of the Year

By now you’ve probably seen or heard of folks choosing a “Word of the Year”.  I started using this concept at the recommendation of a friend back in 2018.  I had found myself making resolutions, not sticking to them, and feeling defeated and back to square one usually by mid-January.  Sound familiar? This Word of the Year concept resonated with me because I could choose a way to be or live during the year while not feeling like I had to give up because I got a little off course.  So for 2023, I have chosen the word CONSISTENCY.

That is something I left in 2017 and haven’t looked back. I instead started choosing a word of the year, like many of you, because it made more sense to live by than something arbitrary which I would probably end up ditching in a few weeks anyway.

Easter At Home

To say Easter will look different this year is an understatement. Most churches, dining room tables and backyards won’t be filled with people. Rather we’ll be celebrating in our homes with only our immediate family members. While this does make me sad, it doesn’t mean we’re not going to make the best of it. Part of keeping things “normal”, if there is even such a thing at this point, will be an Easter meal with all the trimmings.
