Pursuit Of Peace

2015 word - PEACE
I am on a persistent pursuit of peace for 2015.

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.







If we all try, maybe this will be the year for PEACE!













Happy 2015!

See y'all!

  11. That'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!

  13. 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.
