On the eve of 2025, you have to wonder what this new year will bring. No one knows. Half of 2024 was a challenge medically for me, but I’m thankful that I have felt better and been comfortable enough to get back to feeling like myself. Christmas is tucked away but there is a brand new year waiting!

I start January with five medical follow-up appointments, which I am hoping will be just that – just keep sailing! I’m really looking forward to new adventures and routine days and family and friends. Kathy and I are already planning a trip to see my friend Gen in New York sometime in the spring. And she REALLY wants to visit the Newport mansions during the holidays.

I have read a lot of posts today – reflecting on 2024 and looking forward to 2025. There is SO MUCH to look forward to; so many wonderful things just waiting for us to embrace them. I wish everyone the opportunity to celebrate and enjoy this new year.

My decision is to not make any specific resolutions. I just want each day to be better than the day before. I want to find ways to make life good for those around me, and to let God lead me to where He wants me to be; what He wants me to do. I’m sort of hoping that includes Williamsburg or Biltmore – but if not in 2025 then there are more years after that one.

God bless each of you – sending love and wishes for good health, peace, and finding your happy place.

My blessing today is typing this – to so many people that I care so much about!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:

TOMORROW January 1, 2025, is:
Apple Gifting Day; Commitment Day; National Raisin Day; New Year’s Day; Polar Bear Plunge Day; Ring a Bell Day; World Day of Peace.
Yesterday’s fake day was National Jump Day. Tomorrow: No jumping in the river for me! I can ring a bell – I have Mom’s school bell on my desk! Happy New Year! God bless…
