I wasn&#8217;t sure I&#8217;d be able to think of a good one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first word that sprang to mind was &#8220;karma.&#8221; I could think of several high-profile people who IMHO deserved a big karmic &#8220;payback&#8217;s a bitch&#8221; bite in the ass. That was not necessarily a correct or positive use of the word &#8220;karma,&#8221; though, and it smacked of vengefulness, which is not the kind of energy one ought to bring to the new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinking about it now, I realize that the word &#8220;kindness&#8221; is a more obvious choice (duh!), and a better one. I choose that instead. I sincerely hope that 2021 will bring more kindness into all of our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if the people whose names begin with &#8220;J&#8221; would like to wish for Justice, more power to them! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Earlier today I saw a Facebook meme that asked me for a positive word, specifically one starting with the first letter of my first name, to act as a wish for a better year ahead. &#8220;K&#8221; is a common starting &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/?p=19252\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[607],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19252"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19252"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19252\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":19269,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19252\/revisions\/19269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19252"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19252"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/bluefootedmusings.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19252"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
