Gratituesday 1.7.25 - Happy New Year!

Well, happy new year, friends! When I was at the grocery store earlier today, I asked the clerk if it was too late to say, Happy New Year. He said, no. So there we go!

After a ton of reflection and planning last month, I’m excited to see where this year takes me. I just started reading Atomic Habits for book club and we’ve read it before. But honestly, I don’t remember much. Perhaps it’s because I did the audiobook last time and now I am reading the ebook. As a visual learner, it’s hitting me in a different way. Since the winter months are slow for me, it’s nice to be able to embrace a mix of productivity and rest. I’ve also started with a few new counseling couples, so I can add them to my accountability list.

Care to join me in a little reflection? Check out my lists of gratitudes, celebrations and desires and feel free to add your own. Happy to hold you accountable in the new year, too! Let’s go!
