Create.
My word-of-the-year for 2022
I don’t just mean “write more.”
We create so many things. Memories. Space. Budgets!
And so my goal for this year is not just to write more, although I very much want to do that as well.
I want to create space in my house so that it becomes a better home.
I want to create, with my husband, a budget so we can create other things with our money. Experiences, memories.
I want to create some mental peace for myself.
I want to create play.
As to writing more, I am participating in some Medium workshops and a weekly writing session to help me build those muscles again. Writing exercise is exercise, and thus needs to be a habit, a practice.
I usually post my “word of the year” on my actual birthday, which was yesterday. Insomnia and other sleep issues have resurfaced, and I spent most of my fifty-first birthday snacking and binging Castle on hulu instead of actually creating.
I am hoping to do so much better. Stay tuned.
Do you have a word of the year?
