Blessings to you all as we quickly enter into a new year! I am just returning from a few days of Christmas rest — and testing my new ice skates!! (it has been years since I skated, more on that in our time together!) — and I look forward to catching up with you all and replying to all your beautiful messages you left me. And I want to extend a warm welcome to all those who found this channel during Christmas!!! It is wonderful having you here.
I still can't believe 2024 is ending! Where did the time go? But as time seems to move by quicker these days, I am making a resolution to live more in the moment in the new year. As for resolutions, well, I am not really a big fan of them and so this year I have decided to make a list of my offerings to God — listing the things that I want to give to God each and every day of 2025.
I invite you to make such a list as well, along with a list of all the things you want to NOT carry into the new year with you. You can toss that list into the fire here at Old Stone Well Farm, as I embrace a Swiss tradition of having a bonfire on New Year's Eve. It wasn't exactly a big fire, but I managed to get a flame going.
I can't wait to say good-bye to the old year and usher in the new year with you all! What are some customs, traditions or favorite things you like to do to celebrate the new year? I would love to hear! Like, comment and, as always, share, for there is plenty of room around the old farm table here at Old Stone Well Farm! Blessings!!
