I’m making plans for 2025. My number 1 guiding principle, enjoy life, be a participant and not a spectator. I’m starting to brainstorm a list of things that will make 2025 special one. I will finalize my list on New Year’s day. I have a few guidelines I’ll follow in getting my list down to a reasonable number. 1) They have to fall within my budget parameters. 2) They have to be reasonable (i.e., climbing Mt. Everest is not a reasonable choice, nor is trekking across the Antarctic to the south pole – you get the idea). That leaves a lot of options open for me. My mouth is already savoring tapas in Madrid and a pizza in Naples. What’s on your list to make 2025 a special one for you?

Smile at 2024 and Look Forward with Hope to 2025
How was your 2024? It’s easy to take a glance back and talk about the negative stuff. The news media conditions us to look for the bad. If we, however, take time to look for the good we’ll have multiple reasons to celebrate 2024 and look forward with hope to 2025. When we are grateful we can understand the Ojibwe saying, “May you be strengthened by yesterday’s rain, walk straight in tomorrow’s wind and cherish each moment of the sun today.”
