{ Happy Homemaker Monday - 12/30/2024 }

 

Good morning dear friends, and welcome to the very last Happy Homemaker Monday, of 2024.  Can you believe that we are at the very end of this year?

 

I always go into the end of a year, and beginning of a new one, with a bit of anxiety and trepidation, not ever knowing what to expect and that leaves me a bit overwhelmed.  But this year, I have decided not to allow that feeling to overtake me, but rather to embrace the year that is coming upon us, with love and excitement instead.  

 

We are blessed to be here, and no matter what may come our way, we have to stand in faith.  I've been thinking about this for days and I really want to change things around me, to remove myself from social media (not completely but a LOT), and to focus more on living, on being in the moment, of spending time with those who truly matter and doing things that I love.  Returning to my blog, returning to daily posts, to reading wholesome books, and watching wholesome shows.  That is my hope!

 

Anyway, let's get on with our last HHM for this year.  I wish you all a very happy and blessed new year, for you and your families.  May God continue to bless you immensely, in every single area of your life.  Thank you for being here with me, even though I've been a terrible blogger for the past year, but seeing your sweet comments every week, just brings the biggest smile to my face, so thank you.

 

Have a blessed week friends! ♥

*** What I am creating ***

This week I'm working on my Reading list for the month of January.  Reading is something I fell back in love with last year, but December was not a good month for me, I've been so busy that I have not read a single book.  Ugh!

 

But yes, I will be sharing my January reading list, this week.
