I don''t know if something...yes, well said. I don''t know if something can be mended if people are busy tearing it out as fast as some are mending. Sounds pessimistic, sorry. I am feeling that way nowadays. I've never felt so insecure while being in the majority. I really like your interpretation of the word. It made me think how I would interpret my word, change, in a visual way. I am being beat up by my word at the moment. I have learned all change is not healthy, despite being inevitable. <br />LeeAnnaLA Paylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06553491768819243802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-64717558933381190672018-01-10T21:15:21.802-08:002018-01-10T21:15:21.802-08:00Wishing you a happy new year.

I, too, have resisted and now--well, mend, I know it's what is needed but is it possible?<br />In the newest Star Wars movie one character says--"we need to fight for what we love, not fight against what we fear"<br />Resistance was futile.

It's a wonderful idea. You are far more optimistic about the mending that must take place. The tear is not a tear, but a gorge that opens larger as we go behind trying to mend what has been undone. I fought so hard since the 60s only to see our country today take 100 steps backward and stagnate there. I fear I am stuck in RESIST.<br />Happy New Year.<br />xx, CarolCarol- Beads and Birdshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11062821517519300477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-34707834311100266692018-01-02T13:49:54.819-08:002018-01-02T13:49:54.819-08:00Every year when I choose a word, I think I am goin...Every year when I choose a word, I think I am going to make a reminder, but I haven't yet. Mend is a great word to follow resist. I hope that by the end of the year, many things are mended. (that sounds only somewhat better than saying I wish you much mending! Sound like I want you to have more things that need mending.)Shelina (formerly known as Shasta)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03290945204269323129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16634800.post-73810757580068967672018-01-02T09:29:34.886-08:002018-01-02T09:29:34.886-08:00Strength and beauty in the mending process... a wo...Strength and beauty in the mending process... a worthy challenge.
