2015 - LINGER

In 2014 we set out to CONQUER and conquer we did. Conquer was our word of the year and what a year of conquering it was for us!

I've been thinking about our "word of the year" for 2015 and although it took me a few weeks to decide on one, I finally established our word of the year. 

This year's word is LINGER. 2015 will be the year of lingering and I plan on making a cognizant effort to linger each and every day. I looked up the meaning of the word linger and the following is what popped up: 

lin·ger
ˈliNGɡər/
verb
stay in a place longer than necessary, typically because of a reluctance to leave.
"she lingered in the yard, enjoying the warm sunshine"
  1. synonyms:wait around, stayremainwait, stay put
    • spend a long time over (something).

I plan to linger throughout 2015.  Amongst the hustle and bustle, "to do" lists, appointments and commitments, I plan on lingering....especially when it comes to moments like these. 
The kitchen construction zone can be organized later, the insurance phone calls can wait until tomorrow, the drool spots, all over our couch, will eventually be cleaned.....as for now, I'll be lingering in these moments.
