Saying Goodbye to the Old and Hello to the New: Reflections on the Past Year

Advertisement

As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, it’s natural to look back on the past year and reflect on all that has happened. For many of us, the past year has been filled with challenges and difficulties, but it has also been a time of growth and learning.

As we move into the new year, it’s important to leave behind any negative thoughts or feelings and focus on the positive. Now is the time to let go of any grudges or resentment and embrace a new beginning.

This year, like every other, was filled with both highs and lows. However, despite the challenges we faced, there was always a silver lining and that is what matters most. Even in the darkest of times, we can find hope and light.

Many of you may know, we recently experienced some difficult times that required us to take a temporary hiatus from blogging. Unfortunately, I was involved in a serious road accident and my friend faced some personal challenges that made it necessary for us to step away for a while.

During this time, we were grateful to receive such strong support and well wishes from our readers. We truly appreciate your concern and kindness, and it meant a lot to us. We are grateful to have such a supportive community behind us.

This year, we were also thrilled to publish our first book, β€œUnfold the Stories of Unsung Heroes.” We were overwhelmed by the amount of support and love we received, and we never could have imagined that our book would become an Amazon Best Seller in certain categories.

We are grateful to all of you who took the time to read our book and leave honest reviews. Your support means the world to us. We hope that by sharing the stories of ordinary people with extraordinary experiences, and with your incredible support, we can make a difference in the lives of those who read these unsung stories. Thank you again for your support.

Check out our book here.

By looking back on these accomplishments and carrying them with us into the future, we can start the new year feeling confident and motivated. We can also use these successes as a foundation to build upon in the coming year, setting new goals and working towards even greater achievements.

it’s time to dust off the same old resolutions we make every year and pretend like this is the year we’ll actually stick to them. You know, the ones where we swear we’ll hit the gym every day, eat healthily, and save all our extra cash.

Ha! Who are we kidding?

But seriously, let’s all take a moment to pat ourselves on the back for making it through another year. Congratulations, we’ve survived yet another 365 days of adulting! Time to celebrate with some champagne and a slice of that delicious-looking cake that’s been calling our name all night.

And who knows, maybe this will be the year we actually follow through on those resolutions. Maybe.

Anyways, wishing you all a happy and healthy new year!

    • I'm with you, Cheryl. Let's hope for a less challenging year ahead. Happy New Year to you too! πŸ’—πŸŽ‰πŸ™Œ

  • πŸ’œ I Fully Understand and Congratulations to ALL of YOU!!! Ritish; personally I have Reached a Place of Consciousness where I AM at One with Gaias Orbit so Festivities don't really Mean Much to Me anymore...for example a BirthDay is a "New Years Day" and any Day is a Day that Greetings and Gifts can be Exchanged, Gatherings and Communal Meals Enjoyed; somehow, historically, We Screwed Up what is The Seamless Cosmic Calendar, ergo, We Have to Add a Day every four years in February to Keep In Synch with Our Home, Planet Earth, that some name Gaia

    • I can see your point. It's fascinating to think about how our societal celebrations differ from the cosmic calendar. Thanks, Yernasia.
      And, anyways I wish you the best for this 'new year'. πŸŽ‰πŸ™Œ

      • πŸ’œ YOU!!! ARE Most Welcome Ritish and "Best...Wishes" for 2023 to YOU!!! Too; recently I wrote a piece about resolutions and how people fail in those resolutions within the first few months of The New Year...so We could ALL take a leaf out of Gaias Book πŸ“– πŸ˜€ that is over 4.5 Billion Years Young instead of Listening to The Waffling of so called Leaders EveryOne; it's Obvious that Earth 🌏 Our Home Planet, that Some Call Gaia, follows Her Natural Planetary Path, Her Rotation and Orbit, in Conjunction with the rest of The "Cosmos" EveryBody...while Humans tend to Resist Mother Nature; trying to Force Round Pegs in to Square Holes, Getting Annoyed when it Doesn't Work instead of just Appreciating Nature Taking HER Course...an annoyance that Ultimately Consequences Going To War; whether with Our Family πŸ‘ͺ ,Friends, Partners, Corporations and Nations et al
