OED had so many words to choose from for "Word of the Year" they expanded and encompassed several as "Words of an Unprecedented Year." A restating of "unprecedented" seems all encompassing, albeit over-used to me. According to the article, the use of pandemic increased 57,000% in 2020.
WARNING--Don't multiply words without knowledge. (Job 35:16)
All of this intellectual repartee had me considering what few words (Ecclesiastes 6:11, Proverbs 10:19) defined my year with the underlying word of HOPE.......
JANUARY--Pause & Listen (before seeking)
FEBRUARY--Angst---it was a leap year and there was no February 29 in my devotional book
MARCH--New Normal (w/COVID-19)
APRIL--COVID testing--my first of 2, both negative
MAY--FOHOF (Fear Of Hurting Others Feelings--text talk hard for the aged)
JUNE--DRIVE-BY (Birthdays)
JULY--Social-distancing
AUGUST--STROKE
SEPTEMBER--Fishing
OCTOBER--Wearisome
NOVEMBER--Twosome
DECEMBER--BLURRS-DAY
Mask up, Memphis. I still want to be vigilant & hopeful in my word gathering in 2021.
