Last year, I chose move for my word of the year; it was a good choice. I moved my body more and tried to show more inertia in everything I did in general. That worked out well for me; I took up yoga again, I did a better job of not procrastinating on unpleasant tasks, and I stayed on top of all of the tasks necessary for the planning and execution of the Man-Cub's wedding. It was an appropriate word for that time in my life.
This year, I am choosing the word class.
I want to show class in every way possible, from how I treat others to how I treat myself. I want to practice grace with people who wrong me and give them the benefit of the doubt.
I want to take more care of my personal appearance and physical well-being.
I want my home to reflect grace, class, comfort, and charm.
I want to wear my pearls, use my vintage china, and drink bubbly water from my wedding crystal. I want to garden in my "good" clothes and dress up for random occasions. I want to leave people with nothing but the impression that they have been in the presence of one classy lady.
It's an appropriate goal for someone my age. It will also make for a softer, more intentional lifestyle, which is a lifestyle worth crafting.
So.
2025, here's to class!
