The first day of 2025 is off to a great start because I woke up and any day I wake up is a day to be grateful. We have a year to live life the way we want to live, if you’re not there yet, keep moving forward with your eyes on the prize.
Happy New Year!

How did you fair over the holidays? Hopefully you’ve taken some time to rest. I have to tell you a funny story. We open our gifts on Christmas Eve, I open a box to see it’s from my favorite candle store, open it to find it’s a beautiful vase I already own. I didn’t have the heart to tell him until the next day. I returned for a candle. :)

I had to alternate busy/quiet days. It was mostly good. At least your husband knows you like candles and flowers. Glad you ended with what you want.

We worked a long time ago, he tells me how much I get to spend on Christmas and how much do I want to spend on myself. This year I spent most on myself then I gave him a list of items from specific stores to shop. He did surprise me with a cashmere hoodie that I love. It’s the one time of year we get a little lavish.

It’s the best we can do to make good things happen. Now if we could find a way to avoid the violence, the world would be a better place.

I’ve written two poems in my adult life, one I deleted due the sexual nature and my embarrassment and one a few months ago. I missed the boat on the message by the comments I received. I just thankful for the comments. Poetry is not my skill set, I can’t say I’m a good writer but I’m a writer. :)

that’s fine: it doesn’t have to be poetry; prose is just as fine; whatever works for you —
