Goodbye 2025 and it is the Hodgepodge.
Joyce asks the questions.
We answer the questions.
1. Did you make resolutions or set goals for the year we're waving goodbye? How did that work out for you? Will you set any goals for this new year, new season, or new month? Share one or two if you'd like to share.
I memorized some of my favorite Bible verses. I plan to continue to do that in the new year.
2. When did you have the most fun this year?
Anytime I spend time with my family.
Even when helping our oldest son move to his first home, on one of the hottest days of 2025! Hot and sweaty lifting boxes, boxes and more boxes.
3. What's a song or song lyric you'll associate with 2025? Tell us why.
It Is Well with My Soul
2025 was a challenging year for my husband and I. I did not share much of those challenges here on the blog, it was a year of "closed doors" several dreams had to be shifted and reevaluated.
It Is Well with My Soul has always been a favorite. Life can be unpredictable and challenging, but faith and trust in God can help us to overcome hardship and tragedy.
4. Best (or a favorite) bite of something delicious you tasted this year?
Fresh fish and chips. The fish was fresh from the cold waters of Lake Superior.
5. What do you want to do more of in the new year? Less of?
My husband and I did not have much time to travel this past year, we hope to do more of that in 2026. I hope we have less "closed doors" that caused stress in 2025.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
My New Year Prayer for you ...
God Bless This House
and all that is in it
a garden of flowers
some books for the hours

and
love glorious love

Carla, I am so sorry you had a year that 'closed doors' and that life needed to be re-evaluated. We experienced much of the same thing. Life is just plain hard sometimes.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do get to travel more this year. Happy New Year-Sending. you a hug, my WI friend- xo Diana
I love the lines of the quote or poem from your random thought. It is so good and true. I am sorry for closed doors. I hope that you´ve grown closer as a result- no one wants to suffer and have closed doors but sometimes a silver lining is that people who go through hard things together grow closer and I hope that´s the case with you and your husband. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry for the closed doors. They can sometimes be a blessing in hindsight and I hope that is the case for you. We had some very hard things going on 'behind the scenes' here too and I understand not everything is for blog consumption. Happy new year to you and your family. Wishing you peace and joy and open doors in 2026!
ReplyDeleteLove the poem my friend. Let's hope and pray for 2026 to be healthier and happier for all of us. Maybe some unexpected doors will open in the new year. Hugs. Kris
