..Joy in January and a new word for the new year..

Do check out Amelia's lovely idea for joy every day in January. See in comments on this post. Will you sign up?

My word for 2025 is DECISIVE. Life got better for me after I decided to decide in this post last October. Have you chosen your word yet?

There is so much to see in my favourite city. Visual stimulus of every kind at every turn..

There are crowds of course - people enjoying the sights

but just the other side of the Minster are quiet streets

with beautiful doorways

and unusual buildings

with hidden lanes and courtyards

More tomorrow..

I have decided (ha!) to discard rather than adopt a word for 2025. I can do without "should". It is rarely, if ever, helpful. Although I don't often apply it to others or their actions, certainly I can do with applying it less to myself.

A year of coulds and Woulds will surely be more helpful. Great idea.

Classic and intriguing views, showing the city in all it's glory.
I agree with Gwendoline that should is not a very helpful word.

Beautiful, atmospheric photos in photogenic York.
I'm not being decisive (!) about my word this year. But I do like Gwendolyn's discard idea.

Plenty of time. All of January, I would say.

I've only been to York once but your second picture took me straight back to the atmosphere I remember, thank you.

I'm a couple of days behind on the January Joy front so I'll have to make up for it tomorrow with triple joy. Sounds a bit like an Olympic sport - The Triple Joy... but more graceful. One where you don't land on your backside in a load of sand.

I very much like Gwendoline's idea of discarding an unhelpful word. In the spirit of the 'one in, one out' decluttering principle I think I'll adopt one and discard one this year.

Still laughing at the triple joy Olympic sport! Do let us know what words you decide on.
