The final full week of 2025 came quietly and joyously to a close with Christmas day being the highlight, of course. I am very much looking forward to bidding the year adieu next week and embracing a new one. I’m sure a lot of you probably feel the same way as well. I am hoping and praying for change in the upcoming year. Good change.
I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful Christmas, for those of you who celebrate. It was a very lovely day for me – quiet, thoughtful and relaxed. I spent time in the kitchen preparing a wonderful meal and dessert so I was pretty happy about that. I was surrounded by love and spoiled with a handful of meaningful and useful gifts that I am quite excited about.
Discussions this past week revolved around future plans, hopes and dreams and making them into realities. If this past year has taught us nothing else, it has given us a sense that we need to make the most of what we have and truly improve and enrich our lives in spite of outside influences and all of the ugliness out there in the world. We need to protect ourselves, each other and do all that we can. It almost feels like we need to build a special bubble to surround us and keep us safe. We need to keep the ugly away. Does that make sense and are any of you feeling the same way?
As I have already mentioned, I chose Focus as my word for 2026 and as we were talking they all agreed that it needs to be their word as well so I have comrades in arms, so to speak. We will all be working hard to make tangible and intangible improvements to our lives in the coming months and supporting each along the way. For some of us it is to eliminate debt and boost savings, cutting back on expenses, making a job change, making a relationship change, beginning a mental health journey, decluttering and making home improvements, planting a garden and so forth. It sounds like we have a lot to do. For me, it will be focusing on maintaining my mental and physical health and growing stronger while improving my quality of life.
I want to invite you to join us as well. You are all welcome to be a part of our community. After all, that is what this blog is all about. Building a community. What are some of the changes you would like to make in 2026? How do you want to make improvements? Are you ready for a new year and a brand new slate? I am! We can do totally this! Let’s do it together.
