Great column, Joy! I’d never bring myself to do ALL of those things, but I immediately wrote EnCourage on a sticky note and put it on my refrigerator!! Perfect 2025 word!

My word for the coming year...though I knew it some weeks ago....is PERSIST! I will persist in living...refusing (as Clint Eastwood said in an interview) to let the old lady out! I will persist in helping the organizations that will fight for our democracy. I will persist in finding ways to support my adult children and my old lady friends. My "word" will require a lot from me in 2025 and I will give it my best! And even though I can't control it, I might even persist from time to time in daydreaming about the Felon's demise.....
