... again. Time for Christmas wishes, and for thinking ahead to 2021.
I hope that this Christmas, as unusual as it is, will have you uniquely conscious of those you love and cherish, whether you're in quarantine, isolation, under restrictions (as we are in western Canada), or actually able to celebrate with your family.
And if you're thinking of what you'd like to concentrate on in 2021, I'd love to hear about it. My word for the year is 'Wonder', and I love the definition(s):
verb
- to think or speculate curiously
· - to be filled with admiration, amazement, or awe; marvel
·
- to doubt
noun
· - something strange and surprising; a cause of
surprise, astonishment, or admiration
· - the emotion excited by what is strange and
surprising; a feeling of surprised or puzzled interest, sometimes tinged with admiration
· - miraculous deed or event; remarkable
phenomenon.
Every time I choose a word for the upcoming year, I'm filled with curiosity about how it will show up in my life. This time I fully expect a sense of wonder in every meaning of the word. I've made some visuals for my studio wall, of course, and for a change, many are photographs that I've found on the web.

DeleteWhat a great word for the new year. I'm sure it will bring lots to think about, and I look forward to seeing the art it inspires. Haven't come up with one for myself yet.
ReplyDeleteLove that photo of the nebula, by the way. It looks like an eye.
I love the nebula photo as well, Tracy...some much in outer space that is wonder-full!
DeleteHi Win, pleased you liked my dragon box and thanks for your kind words. I think if I was looking for a word for the new year it would be 'Freedom' which is my hope and wish for 2021 so that I can see my family and friends again and take my mum out as she is really feeling lonely since loosing my dad. Hope your Christmas is as happy as possible. Hugs, Angela xxx
ReplyDeleteFreedom is a great word for the coming year...and will be for your mom as well. Here's to a fabulous 2021 for all! xo
DeleteThank you for your wisdom and friendship. My wish for you in every season is health, happiness and the ability to go on inspiring all of us with your work and words.
ReplyDeleteMy word this year is Gratitude...it saves me everyday, it makes my life a blessing and what I have enough.
I am grateful for your friendship. So take care of you, folks like you are hard to come by. Hugs, Deann
So many thanks, Deann - you are always such a bright spot in my week, and I'm definitely grateful for that, and you. I love your word for 2021; Gratitude is something you exemplify, and I can only imagine how that will expand for you this year as you move forward in the consciousness of the word. Happy New Year, my amazing friend. xo
DeleteA beautiful and inspiring word, Win! May your 2021 be filled with wonder and joy! I chose the word Gratitude for this year as I think I have a lot to be grateful for and contentment is a cornerstone of happiness! Thank you for your wonderful friendship and inspiration over the years! xx
ReplyDeleteAn excellent word, Zsuzsa, and shared with Deann above (and likely many more people given this past year!). Here's to a year of gratitude and wonder. xo
