| Isn't this nice? |
This year, the word is "Nice".
Underwhelmed? Stay with me here.
The point of selecting just a single word is it allows for ambiguity and multiple interpretations. So "nice" is an exclamation, a synonym for "cool". It also means how we treat each other, and we could all stand for a little more niceness in our interactions. And, inspired by Alice, I'm wanting to add a little style to my life: flowers on the table, color in my hair, food arranged artfully on the plate. So if I achieve "nice" this year, it will be enough.

Frankly, today NICE looks a little ambitious for 2021. But I certainly hope you can be and appreciate nice in your personal life. I’m feeling teeth clenching resentment myself.
But to sit under a clear sky, with a sweet dog, and peace and beauty around you... yes, we can aim for nice in the every day.

co-sign on dreams for a nicer year...
Me three on When We Are Vikings - good book. Great pacing and characters, genuinely thrilling at many junctures and brave ending. Thanks so much for the rec!

Nan, I knew your word was “engaged” last year.
I’m proud of you, as your friend, for choosing these words.
And I’m honored that you mentioned me with the flowers and stylish things. I do try. Right now, I have one yellow taper candle and one red one burning on the mantel. We also still have all of our Christmas stuff up--we do that every year.
I’m still struggling with self-care, but I plan to sign off and brush and floss my teeth now. No joke. #staysafe
Love Alice
