Reflection Monday December 2025

Thinking about 2025, are you feeling the beautiful memories over the imperfect ones?

Life is textured by emotions

over the structure of events.

Start your day with

Faith, Love & Purpose

One More Day, Farewell to November 2025

November Done

Think about it. There is a whole new year with a new number to look forward to. There will be another spring, another summer, and another autumn. Where do you want to be?

Of course, everyone can name places they don’t want to be. It is easy to name places where you want to be. Can you make  being there happen?

For me, the answer is a hard no. Planning my life is like my fat pointing finger, missing the right letters on the keyboard. I can change that by being more careful. 

Making positive use of personal power also needs caution. Select a location within practical reach. Take one step in that direction and keep going as far as you are able, and still get home safely.

Farewell to November this Sunday increases the energy of a New Year approaching. What will 2026 bring? Not keen on resolutions, but I have thoughts.

Many people, I believe, not just Americans, need relief from current events’ turmoil. Absorbing the positive vibe of possibilities from a new year need not be wasted because there is so much going on to feel bad about. 

A family tradition we started decades ago, is to not argue during the holidays. It is not as easy as it may sound. The atmosphere created by that mind set makes the air feel lighter and positive.

Thoughts About the Holidays.

🦃🦃🦃🦃🦃

On this American Thanksgiving, I’m not celebrating the traditional way. I roasted a turkey a few weeks ago. Besides, I don’t have a fireplace, can’t play tag football, and, there’s no dinner I must attend. I will, however, partake in pumpkin pie and dressing with cranberry sauce. Not able to chew just yet, easy food is appreciated. I have fun projects planned.

The season of donate, donate, and donate begins. Add that to the constant news about holiday sales, the joy of the holidays can be smothered under it all. Donating is good anytime of the year. Supporting businesses is always important. 

How do we create a balance that leaves us room to enjoy without guilt trips and worry our economy will collapse? 

Blend. Allow all the aspects, the parts of the season to be wrapped in joyful emotions. Let the oh-no-not-again feeling wait until January. Plan your happiness. Create new traditions and embrace the old ones. Attend  concert, a craft sale and or watch holiday movies.
