Some thoughts as we enter the New Year of 2025...

 


Some thoughts as we enter a New Year:

Good Endings precede Good Beginnings.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

Stop holding on to the past.
Release your regrets about whatever you may have done
or failed to do that turned out poorly.
Forgive others for whatever they may have done
or failed to do that cause you harm.
Declare today to be a new beginning.
Let go of the past and move on with creating
a joyful new future for yourself.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

nor the incentive to think new thoughts,
and to begin great new projects.

At the end of a matter ask,
"What will I learn from this to make me better?"

Happiness is like a kiss.
You must share it to enjoy it.

Also Celebrate Endings


Celebrate endings - for they precede new beginnings.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.
- Lao Tzu

Don't cry because it's over,
smile because it happened.
- Anonymous

Good Endings precede Good Beginnings.
- Jonathan Lockwood Huie


Exercise: Make a list of the 10 best things that happened for you this year.
Celebrate and have gratitude.
(If you have trouble making a list, begin with the basics:
you are still alive; probably you had enough to eat, clothes to wear, a roof over your head; ...)
