2025 is Gone, At Last
We face a new year, and most of us will begin with resolutions. Personally, I don’t do well with resolutions. Too easy to let slide.
I do like goals. Goals solidify intangibles into tangibles. To-do lists rule my life.
Lesson objectives were an integral part of my teaching days. Once I quit teaching, transitioning lesson goals to my writing career was a logical, easy progression.
World events in 2025 caused my goals to fluctuate, with some ultimately failing. Challenges in my personal life caused more upheaval. There were days I struggled to focus. I think we all did. The first days of this new year already remind us that we still have a bumpy road ahead.
Remember, no goal plan is required, but it might help navigate the days. Whether you choose to write resolutions or specific, measurable goals or fly uncharted ahead with nothing at all planned, that’s up to you.
I’ll be setting writing goals. I’m determined to hang onto hope.
Hope fuels creativity.
Hope motivates us through the dismal days.
Hope is a choice that requires courage and action.
With hope, we find a well from which to draw grace and kindness for daily living.
The coming days don’t need more pressure. They need our presence. So begin gently and find your well of hope.
