I thought long and hard about my word for 2022. I had a handful of contenders. Nothing really seemed to be right until I read the word Treasure.

Definition of treasure (Entry 2 of 2)
If the past couple years has taught me anything, its to treasure all things in life.
Time is a gift, a treasure. We don’t always realize it until the time is done. Time with friends and family. Time with a beloved pet. Time spent laughing. Time spent alone. All treasures.
Sometimes it’s the little things that we didn’t realize that should have been treasured. Full store shelves, for example. Being able to visit with friends and family. Travel.
I have had my eyes opened wide. I see the treasure in the little things. The treasure of moments, of laughter and even tears. We don’t cry for no reason. We shed those tears because we loved. Because we were joyful. All of it is to be treasured.
The gift of creative time and inspiration is also something to be treasured.
The beauty of nature and the bounty she provides also is a treasure.
Treasure in the old things and ways but also in the new.
My aim is to see the treasure all around me and acknowledge as such…
I LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS! Treasure is certainly something I want to do more of in 2022. As we inch closer to Ana fleeing the nest, my mom in her battles, Nicholas graduating and thinking he is leaving for the south…treasuring time and precious moments is a focus for me. Thanks for the reminder.
Treasure in the little things is especially important to me these days.
Great word Halle. I think although we picked different words we were thinking on the same lines, as I picked the word gratitude. Happy new year to you and I hope it is a happy and healthy one and you have lots to treasure. Hugs-Erika
A great word. Not something I would have considered, but I see how you came to choose it. Nicely done, dear.
