I FINALLY have my word for 2025!  It took a bit longer than I expected.  I had a few in mind that I kept going back and forth until I realized that they were similar. 

For 2025 I decided my word to be “Happiness”

It has been rough for me these past few years.  Taking care of an elderly mom and living with a sister with a mental disease takes a toll on me.  Work has been good and bad.  I struggled a lot in my personal and professional life.  I tried to be positive and happy but many times it was hard.  There were many times that I felt resentful and unhappy.  I know that no one is happy ALL OF THE TIME, but I was more unhappy than happy.  I am tired of being unhappy.

There are many things I am happy about.  I am healthy.  I have a job.  I have a place to live.

I want to be happier/find more happiness in life.  I want to smile and laugh more.  The other day I was watching “Good Times”.  Anyone remember that show?  I was laughing while watching it.  I want to laugh more with my coworkers and my students.  I want to laugh more with my family.  I can do that if I can find more happiness in life and if I can be happier.

Below are the words I’ve had in the past.

2024-Self Care

2023-Balance

2022-Patience

2021-Joy
