My Word for 2013: Return

 

Tyler-Foote-January-2013-1

Tyler Foote by Moira McLaughlin, January 2, 2013

My sister, Sheila Cameron, told me that Molly Fisk, one of our local poets, doesn't do new year's resolutions.  She picks a single word.  Sheila follows the tradition. This year, I will too.

Sheila's word is focus.

Molly's word is fame.

My word is return.

Return to my art studio, my camera, my fire pit, my garden, my love seat, and a good game of stick with Tyler Foote.

What is your word?

    At first I thought my word might be “focus”, but then decided on “persevere”, as in stick to it, something I don’t do very well.
    Love the look of your neck of the woods. Perhaps Pacific Northwest?
    Happy 2013!

    I’m trying to think of the word that means get off my rear end and put ideas to actual action on paper,wood,canvas,metal,and repurposed junk…
    I think it will be MOBILIZE

    I’m not sure, yet, although the first thing that comes to mind is “emerge.”

    Creating art can only be evaluated by the person who emotionally put pen/brush/pencil to paper and truly enjoyed the whole experience, people who comment on it adds to the whole experience. Well done they are wonderful.
