Hello and welcome to the home of Word of the Week. A nice and simple weekly linky, with everyone welcome to pop by and share. The idea of the linky is to reflect back on your past week and share it with us. It’s great if you can sum it up in a word or phrase, hence giving us your Word of the Week. My word this week is ‘anticipation’ and you can read more about that below.
I’m not totally strict on using just a word or phrase. But please try to stick to the theme of summing up your week. There are not too many rules with this linky, just remember to read at least another couple of posts in the link up after adding your link. And please only add one post to the link up each week, multiple posts will be deleted. I will read and comment on all posts and tweet them out for you. I also have a Pinterest board devoted to Word of the Week and I will add posts to Mix Please add the badge below to your post so that others may find us and join in. If you comment or tweet then please use the hashtag #WotW
Word of the Week is open from 6am on Friday Morning to 12 noon on Monday. Plenty of time to join in!
If you are unfamiliar with the Word of the Week linky then please feel free to ask any questions. New linkers are always welcome, we love to hear what you have been up to in the past week.
MY WORD OF THE WEEK – Anticipation
The feeling of anticipation cuts both ways. It can have a sense of foreboding, but it can also be the delightful feeling of waiting for something exciting to happen. Just as nostalgia or wistful reflection is a happy stroll down memory lane, anticipation is the feeling of putting a positive spin on what is ahead.
It’s hard for me to rationalise my feelings at the moment and I think anticipation kind of sums it up. I’m scared of what the future will hold, I’m also looking forward to my holiday. I’m scared of going on holiday alone, but I’m looking forward to having a break. I’m scared of all the changes ahead, I’m looking forward to some desperately needed changes. I’m sad about what has happened but I’m reflecting on the happier times and will hold them in my heart. As always I’m trying my hardest to stay positive even though it’s hard. Yes, I think anticipation is a good word for me this week.
Now it’s over to you, what word or phrase sums up your week this week?
Anticipation sounds like a good word to cover that mixture of anxiety about the future but also looking forward to things and having hope. I hope that you will have a lovely holiday and that hard though change is, things will work out as best they can. Sending much love your way as you navigate it all xx
I can’t imagine what you are feeling at the moment but anticipation is a fantastic word to use. Staying positive must be hard but have the holiday to look forward to. x
Anticipation is a very good word , it’s possible to be nervous and positive at the same time. Hope you have a lovely holiday.
I think you have chosen the correct word for the week. It might not feel like it now but in the future you will look back on this and be proud of the journey you have made. I’m glad you are going on holiday. Embrace and enjoy it #WotW
A short and sweet blog post that captures the essence of anticipation! The writer beautifully reflects on the excitement and eagerness that come with looking forward to something. It’s amazing how a few well-chosen words can evoke such strong emotions. This blog is a reminder to embrace the feeling of anticipation and savor the magic of looking ahead.
I think this is a very fitting word. I can imagine everything feeling rather daunting at the moment and rightly so! But you’ve got this, enjoy that holiday and make some lovely memories with your kiddies. xxx
