off like a herd of turtles

Christmas flew in and out in record speed, and as the old saying goes: "It's the start of a brand new day, and I'm off like a herd of turtles." Went to bed last evening wondering, once again, how all that anticipation, preparation, and excitement can come and be gone so quickly.  Now on to the New Year.   2025 Here we go....

I will spend the rest of this week and perhaps even the first part of next finishing off leftovers, undecorating my house and getting everything ready to begin anew on January 1st with a clean and organized home.  It's a fresh start -- a new beginning that comes once every year.  Sort of nice, isn't it?  Then comes Spring and another chance to start anew. Double bonus.

Never one for New Year's resolutions, I do plan on on a couple of things.  I want to concentrate on mindfulness -- even of the "small" things... and also on personal growth... both of these in conjunction with quality time with family and friends.  I think it is a good plan.   Doable.  Doable is a good thing. Doable is much preferable over "impossible to accomplish" ... or "doomed to failure".  I believe in starting off with the positive.  "I can do this." Fingers crossed. 

Wishing you a Blessed New Year!
