Authors, Books, and Chocolate: The True ABC's of Life

 

Happy 2025!

New Year...New Books!

I post the above image every year to gently remind us all (and myself) to READ, READ, READ! Only in a book can you experience a whole new world (a bit like the Disney song Jasmine and Aladdin sing to cement their love story). Whether it's 1 book (How can anyone only read 1 book???? Books are like Pringles, no one can eat just one...no one can...) or 1,000 (that's more like it), your new year should include lots of books, new characters, stories you fall in love with, and places you always want to go.

2025...half the decade is almost over!

I also like the above...because it reminds all of us each new year, typically reserved for 'New Year Resolutions' does really serve to remind us that each new year is a chance to start over, and begin things you've wanted or needed. Simply, it IS a new chapter in the novel of your life. New years are filled with promise and hope...or they should be. It's hard, in today's current world, to find either of those things but the new year, and all its countdowns, kisses, and toasts does remind us every day is the page (or more) of the Chapter of Your Life. So write a good one, eh? (Apologies, couldn't miss the chance to add The Doctor in there).

This is a new image for me, and I love it. After the chaos of the last few years, especially 2020, maybe 2025 will have the opportunity to be normal...or close to normal? But then we can debate what normal is...and that's a whole new chapter on its own! New Year, 2025, is the Opportunity to be what we want, achieve what we want, do things we want, and read (had to throw that in).

So let's all start 2025 with Hope...remembering its Opportunity... and Promise to...READ more.
