My word for 2016 – Eloy. That’s my late dad’s name. Meant to remind me to be more like my father – someone who always thought before he spoke, wasn’t compelled to always share his opinion, who never spoke ill of anyone, and who saved what he wanted to share for the right moment. Big hill for me to climb but I’m gonna try in 2016. Remind me when you see or hear otherwise, just by mentioning “Eloy.”
