Day 344 of 2025- Goodbye 2025

 Hi Friends,

Happy last day of 2025, and I hope you all have a wonderful New Year’s Eve. I am so grateful for those who have read my blog, and I am thankful for being able to write every single day. I write what’s in my heart and hope it has brought you inspiration, smiles, or even just a moment of reflection.

I am also grateful for this year. It has definitely been a year of shedding and realizing many things. I wish all of you the very best and hope that you end the year today with a smile, joy, and a sense of looking forward. Take the lessons of 2025 into 2026, but keep your eyes on what’s ahead.

Be grateful, and know that no matter what, you made it through this year—and you will make it through the next, and many more to come. Today, make a wish, pray if that’s something you do, or simply take a few quiet minutes to yourself and reflect. You have come far, my friend yes, you have.

Goodbye, 2025. Thank you for everything.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Monita

Day 343 of 2025- A Lot Of Thanks

 Hi Friends,

Today is the last day before New Year’s Eve, a quiet pause before the celebrations begin. It can feel emotional to stand at the edge of a new year, looking back at everything the last one carried with it. For some, it’s a year filled with wins, growth, and unforgettable moments. For others, it may be a year they’re ready to close the door on. Either way, today is a powerful moment to slow down and be thankful.

Before the countdowns, the fireworks, and the excitement of tomorrow night, take a moment to reflect. Think about what this year taught you. Think about the challenges that shaped you, the people who supported you, and the small moments that quietly mattered more than you realized at the time. Even the difficult days had lessons, strength, or clarity hidden inside them.

Gratitude doesn’t mean pretending the year was perfect. It means acknowledging that you made it through. You grew, even if it didn’t feel like it. You showed up in ways you may not give yourself enough credit for. Sometimes being thankful is simply recognizing your resilience.

Friends, whether you’re feeling emotional, relieved, hopeful, or ready to move on, allow yourself to truly savor today. Sit with the memories. Appreciate the progress, no matter how small it seemed. Thank the people who stood by you and don’t forget to thank yourself.

As we step into a new year tomorrow, let gratitude be the bridge between what was and what’s coming next. Ending the year with a thankful heart creates space for hope, growth, and new beginnings. Take this moment. Breathe it in. And be grateful you deserve that pause before turning the page.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 342 of 2025- Monday's Rush

 Hi Friends,

Today feels like a bit of a rush but not the productive kind.

There’s a strange sense of urgency in the air. Long waits for email replies. Tasks that feel important but can’t quite move forward. People rushing to get things done before the year ends, while at the same time, so many are still off, checked out, or mentally already in the new year.

It’s an odd tension the pressure to finish mixed with the reality that things aren’t fully working yet.

You might feel it too: the urge to clear inboxes, wrap things up, tie loose ends, and somehow “close” the year perfectly. Yet progress feels slow. Responses are delayed. Momentum is inconsistent. It can feel frustrating, like pushing forward while the world is half-paused.

And underneath all of that is excitement.

Excitement for what’s coming. For a fresh start. For the idea that the calendar turning over might bring clarity, motivation, or relief. Even if nothing magically changes, the promise of a new year still carries energy.

So how do you move through a day like this?

Maybe today isn’t about forcing productivity or racing against an invisible clock. Maybe it’s about acknowledging the transition allowing yourself to do what can be done, and letting go of what can’t. Some things will wait. Some conversations will resume next week. Some clarity will come later.

Ask yourself:

• What truly needs my attention today?

• What am I rushing that doesn’t actually require urgency?

• What can I release instead of carrying into the new year?

This in-between day doesn’t need to be perfect. It doesn’t need to be fully efficient. It just needs to be honest.

If you’re feeling restless, that’s okay. If you’re feeling unmotivated, that’s okay too. This space between years is messy, undefined, and unfinished and maybe that’s exactly what it’s meant to be.

As the new year approaches, give yourself permission to slow the rush internally, even if the world around you feels fast. You don’t have to arrive at January 1st fully figured out. Sometimes, simply arriving is enough.

Wherever today finds you waiting, rushing, reflecting, or excited let it be part of the transition, not something you have to fight against.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 341 of 2025- Last Sunday Of 2025

 Hi Friends,

Today is the last Sunday of the year.

Unlike other days, Sundays often carry a quiet weight. For many of us, it’s the one day that truly belongs to us the day meant for slowing down, resetting, and returning to ourselves before the week begins again. And today, that meaning feels even deeper as it closes not just a week, but an entire year.

The world feels softer on Sundays. The noise turns down. The urgency eases. And yet, so often, we let this day slip away filled with scrolling, worrying about Monday, or wishing it were longer instead of fully living it.

So pause for a moment and ask yourself:
What do Sundays mean to you?

Is Sunday your rest day? Your reflection day? A spiritual day? A creative day? A day for family, solitude, or simple comfort? Or has it become a day of catching up, bracing yourself, or feeling the weight of what’s ahead?

This last Sunday invites honesty. Write it down. What do you want Sundays to feel like next year? Calm? Grounded? Restorative? Intentional? And how often did your Sundays actually feel that way this year?

For most of us, Sunday is the only true day to unwind the one day without expectations, deadlines, or alarms. That makes it precious. How we use it matters. Not because it has to be productive, but because it has the power to shape how we enter every week.

As you reflect on the Sundays of this past year, ask yourself:

• Did I allow myself to rest without guilt?

• Did I use Sundays to reconnect with myself?

• Did I protect this day, or did I give it away?

Planning to use Sundays more wisely doesn’t have to start in January. It can start today with how you spend these hours, how gently you treat yourself, and how intentionally you close the year.

Instead of rushing through this Sunday or letting it dissolve into anxiety about tomorrow, try to be present with it. Unplug for a while. Go for a quiet walk. Sit with a journal. Do something that feels grounding rather than distracting.

Let this last Sunday be a promise to yourself not a strict plan, but an intention. A reminder that rest is not wasted time. That slowing down is not falling behind. And that honoring one day for yourself can change how an entire year feels.

Before the calendar turns and the week begins again, ask yourself one final question:
How do I want to show up for myself on Sundays next year and how can I begin that today?

Let this Sunday be gentle. Let it be yours.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 340 of 2025- Happy Saturday

 Hi Friends,

Today feels like a pause.

It’s the last Saturday of the year, a day that sits quietly between everything that has been and everything that’s about to begin. The rush of the holidays has softened. The decorations are still up, the lights still glow, and yet the year hasn’t quite turned the page. Time feels slower here, almost suspended, as if it’s giving us permission to rest before moving on.

There’s something special about a Saturday like this. It isn’t asking you to celebrate loudly or to rush into resolutions. It isn’t demanding productivity or change. Instead, it offers space, space to breathe, to reflect, and to simply be present in the final stretch of the year.

How are you feeling right now?

Not how you think you should feel, but how you actually feel as this year comes to a close. Are you relieved? Grateful? Exhausted? Proud? Maybe a mix of everything. There’s no wrong answer here. This last Saturday invites honesty, not judgment.

As you move through today, notice how you’re spending it. Are you resting, catching up, avoiding, reflecting? Are you rushing through it, or allowing yourself to move slowly? How do you want to carry yourself through these final hours of the year with pressure, or with peace?

This is also a moment to look back gently. Saturdays are often the days we associate with freedom, time off, rest, creativity, connection. When you think about all the Saturdays this year, how did they serve you? Did they restore you, or did they slip by unnoticed? Did you use them to recharge, or did they become just another day filled with obligations?

If you’re honest, could you use your Saturdays more wisely next year not by doing more, but by being more intentional? More present? More kind to yourself?

Before everything resets, before resolutions, routines, and responsibilities take over sit with this in-between space. Light a candle. Take a deep breath. Write something down. Or simply do nothing at all. The calm between endings and beginnings often holds the most clarity, if we’re willing to listen.

Let this last Saturday of the year be soft. Let it be unproductive. Let it be reflective. Sometimes, the most meaningful way to prepare for what’s next is to fully honor where you are right now.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 339 of 2025- The Next Day

 Hi Friends,

Even though Christmas Day has passed and everyone is already looking ahead to the New Year, I say we should still savor the holidays. Hold on to the memories of yesterday and keep them fresh in your mind.

There is something special about looking back and carrying the small moments with you the smell of cookies baking, the warmth of shared meals, and the sound of laughter filling the room. These memories matter more than we realize.

You never know how useful they might become during the first week of January, when the stresses of work return and the magic of the season feels far away.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace

Day 338 of 2025- Merry Christmas

 Hi Friends,

Merry Christmas! I hope it’s truly a merry one for you. We all deserve to have a great holiday, whether we officially celebrate it or not.

This is such a meaningful time of year to reflect on beginnings and endings. We are close to ending the year, yet this day also represents new beginnings. Can we have both? I believe we can.

We all experience this magical season in our own special ways with family, friends, good food, warmth, feel-good songs, hope, light, and a touch of magic.

It’s new and familiar, marked by endings, shaped by new beginnings, and filled with magical choices.

Wishing you peace and happiness from my heart to yours!

Peace
