Welcome to another year of weekly wonders. Christmas '24 seems like it was weeks and weeks ago and of course Christmas '25 is literally weeks and weeks away! I have bounced back fairly quickly, the post Christmas blues although present were less than years gone by. For this I am grateful.
I have spent some time over the last week or so and set some plans and goals for 2025. Mostly the same as in years past, simple goals that help make my days run smoothly and means I get the best out of the next 52 weeks. The start of the year is full of great inspiration isn't it?
My WOTY is Purpose. I would like to start my weeks with purpose and intention, find some benefit and joy from every day. I am the only one that can ensure this so a challenge that I am looking forward to.
Once again my weekly goals and chores remain mostly the same. Nothing really changes here but I am happy with our routine, simple way of life. It suits us.
So here's to a wonderful new year....let's get started!!!
