Focus – 2017 Word of the Year

Posted in Family, and Thoughts

I have not been able to come up with my 2017 word of the year. I had many ideas, but nothing seemed just right. Yesterday, I was reading several blogs where they were talking about their word of the year and their goals for the year.

In many ways, my answer was in the search. This year, my word of the year is focus.…
