 The start of a new year. I chose two new readings for this year. For AA, it's the Daily Reflections book and for Al-Anon, it's A Little Time For Myself. I have at least one sponsorship session today and we will probably go to a meeting tonight.

 It's New Years Eve, 2025. Not only the ending of this year but also the beginning of next year. We'll be going to dinner somewhere and then to a dance this evening. Beyond that, it's anyone's guess.

 Only 2 days left in 2025. I woke up early to make sure the garbage went to the curb. My reasoning was that I could always have a nap, though I don't see that happening. I just made the cheesecake for the birthday meeting at my group and I'll probably make cookies too. I might make pork tenderloin something something today. I usually have a sponcee at eleven and that got cancelled so I started thinking again about the nap and then another asked to come over and see me so that took care of that nap.

 The year draws to a close. Day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. There are a few birthday meetings we'll be going to this week. One tonight and one tomorrow night. Tonight, I make cookies. Tomorrow, its my home group so I'll make cookies and cheesecake. And new years eve, well we will be going to the annual new years eve dance, this time it's on our side of the harbour. Nancy and I celebrate our wedding anniversary that night. 26 years. We've been together 28 years. Almost one-third of my life.

 December 28. Only three days left in this year. Which is one way of looking at it, that the glass is half empty. Or, that there are only three days until we start a new year, a new chapter in our life. Maybe the glass is half full.

As we do every Sunday, we are preparing to go to church. After church, is coffee hour, so I made cookies last night. Some members of the congregation seem to like my cookies These ones are made with dried cranberries and M and M pieces. Tasty.

Often, my Sundays are filled with service work but today I have a small reprieve from that. Oh, I still have a few things to do, but there are no workshops or committee meetings to attend, just a little sponsorship and I enjoy doing that anyway.
