If I am going to fully embrace “stay” for 2026, I will need to practice observation over quick action.

I feel like ‘notice’ has been on my radar lately as another blogger wrote about it recently. Well done on finding your glove and here’s to noticing things more! Last year I learnt a lot with my word Listen and this year I’m all about letting some silliness into my life. Thanks for the linkup.

I’m so glad that your purple glove was where it was left yesterday, whether you noticed it then or not. And I love your word for 2026…and am blessed to see how many have already linked their posts for this month! Coming to the realization that I don’t have to control everything is always a work in progress for me because my mindset has been wrong for so long, but it is one of the areas where the Lord will work in my life through my One Word self-control this year of 2026, I am sure of.

And I am so glad that you found your glove!

In The Amazing God, I use the words “remember” and “recognize” God in one’s life. That is a “shift” for many as we take “notice” of God’s divine attributes and all they entail. Have a blessed week, dear sister. Please stay safe and keep warm.

Maybe you don’t have to work so hard or explain or manipulate something (or somebody?) quite as much as you think.” That’s very helpful for me to remember.

Watching. Listening. Discerning. Learning.

And this I love –>
‘Notice the shifts instead of forcing them.
Watch, not work.
Examine, not explain.’

Yes, yes. This lends itself to wisdom, peace, and gratitude. And oh my, do we need this more than ever.

I hope you’re warm and cozy and safe in this storm. Even better, if it’s avoided you altogether. A blessed Sabbath to you, friend.

I think paying attention and noticing is a key spiritual practice for all us and now you are using it with your word of the year. I like that idea of taking a spiritual practice each month and using my word – WAY – in that practice. I may have to try that… Thanks for the inspiration.

I love how you are already using the jar.
