Today I’m jumping on the blogger bandwagon and sharing my one word for 2016.
When I started thinking about this after Christmas, I knew immediately that my word would be joy.
The last year taught me that there’s a difference between happiness and joy…a huge difference, in fact. Happiness is based completely on circumstances…things working out how I want them to…things that are out of my control. But joy? Joy is my decision…and I can be joyful even in sad seasons.
Joy.
Peace.
Hope.
I’m ready for you 2016.
Joy is a great word and I love how you described it. It's your choice. Yes!!!
That's such a perfect word to focus on!
What a wonderful word – may your year be full of joy x
Beautiful! I have never really thought about the difference in happiness and joy, but I think you captured it perfectly!
I heart everything about this. Choosing joy – something we should all focus a little more on in 2016.
Happy New Year, friend!!
Oh vanessa, this is my word also! I love it so so much. You have such a joyful spirit so I have no doubt 2016 is going to ROCK for you!!

Happy New Year!
