Ends lead to beginnings - no rewinds - you can't go home again. As 2025 comes to an end, but maybe not a conclusion, our minds naturally turn to 2026.
We will no longer write 2025 on checks and forms, as it is officially ending. However, we may drag some of it along with us to continue to wrestle with gnarly issues not yet resolved. We do best to not use that to halt or slow our new beginnings.
We cannot change the past. We can change how we view and interpret it. Maybe we shift to see everything and everyone as our teachers, and review what we have learned as a result of what did or did not happen. Maybe we need to make some amends. Maybe we need to do some forgiveness work. We need to do what is necessary so that we do not carry on negative things and feelings into our opportunity for new beginnings. We need to get out of our own way.
For some of us, 2025 has been the biggest year of pain and sorrow of our lives. I understand. It certainly was for me, as you know if you read my posts particularly from April on for secveral months. BUT, the questions I have to ask myself lead me forward. It's not going on now; he's not here to hurt me anymore, so do I hurt myself on his behalf? Do I carry on his dastardly work and keep myself in pain over what cannot be undone? Do I have the courage to turn and face a new beginning, the blank slate of 2026?
Since I am still here on earth, I believe that I can assume there is more for me to do here. As has been said, today is the first day of the rest of my life.
I urge you to think about these things in relation to your life and step bravely into new beginnings. Let's make 2026 a magnificent year.
