Each year I choose a word to set the tone for the next twelve months.
Last year was JOY and I feel I accomplished my goal.
This year I have chosen PEACE.
Peace in my personal life.
And to nurture peace in other lives.
I always associate ringing bells as the symbol for the New Year.The last stanza of this old hymn:
Glorious then the dawning
With Thy presence near,
Beauteous wake the morning,
Peace bells chiming clear;
Long lost voices singing -
O, the sweet refrain!
E'en heav'n's bells all ringing
Peace on earth again.
Happy 2015!
See y'all!

Love it Donna! Love the vintage graphic too. Is it cold in your neck of the woods? It's pretty chilly here. Hope you have a PEACEful, lovely New Year's Day!
ReplyDeleteGreat word choice Donna! I have never chosen a word for the year, I think it would be accomplish for 2015! I've got lots I want to accomplish... home diy's, grow my small business, etc.

ReplyDeleteWell said Donna..........great word chosen for 2015!
ReplyDeleteThat's a wonderful word. I made a sign when that was my word 3 yrs. ago and looked at it every day. It must have worked because that was the most peaceful year of my life. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI do the same! Choose a word to set the tone-- you've chosen a good word.
ReplyDeleteGrace and peace for you in 2015
Donna, I am belatedly catching up on a lot of your posts, I know, but, in light of your word for the year, I felt I would be terribly remiss if I didn't share with you that your emails and notes are a great source of peace for me personally. I really do appreciate them and the kind, talented person that you are.
