It is already past New Years and I Have not come up with my word for 2022.
I have though about it a lot. I considered fleeting, as in, everything that feels so heavy and unending is really fleeting in the long run. I like it, but it is not quite it.
I then considered crucible. My daughter is reading Arthur Millers play, the crucible, a play I loved at university. I like it too. A crucible is a hard test. A challenge. Hmm. I don’t think I need that right now.
Then yesterday my friend posed the photo below online and I knew I had found my word. Integration. Allowing everything to settle. To savour all I have learned and experienced, and incorporate it, and maybe, even leave behind the parts of it that changed me, but no longer serves me.
Happy 2022. I hope it is a good year.
Stillness and peace,
Anne

Wonderful 2022 word! Happy new year, Anne.
LOVE this, Anne. Enjoy your year of integrating xxx
I like it, Anne. Got me thinking what mine might be. I’m leaning toward Act – take action; do something.
This is great Anne! Allowing shit to settle, I love it. Thanks for sharing!
This is great! I’ve been thinking of a word for myself, haven’t come up with one. I think I need to look more for “signs” as you mentioned that surround me. I looked up words people use online but didn’t connect with any. Never picked a word for the year but I really like this idea! Thanks!
It has served me well.
If you do, come back and let me know what it is!
Happy new year Anne! Today is day one for me, I’ve kicked it off with my first ever blog post to attempt some accountability, I’m very happy to be joining the sober ride!xxx
