And with it those ‘will I/won’t I……shall I/shan’t I’ thoughts
Those yearly thoughts about…..resolutions- goals – intentions- aims
That have on occasion been known to invade many people’s minds
Mine included and maybe yours too!
I have none of those or even A Word of the Year chosen for this coming year
At the moment the encouraging phrases above will continue to guide me
I’ve been a fan of the much maligned LLL for a long time…..
using it as the blog’s tagline – Come Live Love and Laugh with me
And what could be more simple at this time of the year than contemplating the day ahead with breakfasts eaten quietly in the early morning sunshine

Right this very minute for various reasons I’m going to have to work on staying positive.
Mine are all very minor troubles compared to others…..some of them will never go away which troubles me (and The Golfer) but….they’re not going to stop me from Enjoying Every Moment





All my best wishes . Hope your 2025 breakfast is peaceful and enjoyable. Love the photos.
Wishing for you a year of good health and happiness. I hope you really do enjoy every moment

LLL will do me….it’s not been a good year, so hoping the next will improve its behaviour.
Happy New Year to you, and long may your needles knit!

Wouldn’t it be great Helen, if we could tell Old Father Time exactly how we would like the year to go. Might be a bit boring though.
Garment #1 is on the needles as we speak!

I’ll be trying hard to make sure they do Angela. Life’s not good if I get hung up on things I can’t change

As we get older certain issues become permanent which is annoying but we seem to cope.
I hope you and the Golfer have a very happy and healthy 2025

I’ve my fingers crossed Joanne that’s it better than the last one and as I said to Helen there’s a little garment growing on the needles at the moment

Happy new year. No resolutions or word of the year here either. My goal is to continue on my Countdown to Retirement. And to have regular things to look forward to – short trips, long trips, catch-ups with friends.

I’m really looking forward to hearing more of your retirement plans – how much longer now?

Apart from a few red hot days the weather has, as they say…..been quite delightful. It’s difficult to imagine the days will slowly change. Already we have ‘lost’ several minutes of daylight. To your benefit though, which I don’t begrudge seeing as how dark your winter days are.
