It's Hodgepodge Day

 

Oxford's Word of the year for 2024 is 'brain rot'. Are you familiar with this term? Do you suffer from the condition? Ha! This is a term used to 'capture concerns about the impact of consuming excessive amounts of low-quality online content, especially on social media'. If you were choosing a word to capture 2024 (for the nation/world, not your own life personally) what word would you choose? 

The only word that popped into my head was unstable and yeah, I think the world is unstable at time.

It's National Polar Bear Plunge Day (January 1) ...will you be participating in one of these events (or even your own)? How will you spend the first day of this brand-new year? Do you have a traditional New Year's Day menu? 

Well since I am an Aussie living down under this is not a thing here, also those who partake in such events are mad in my opinion.

 What's something that brings you joy and how will you do more of it in this new year? 

There are many things that bring me joy but can’t think of anything I want to do more of.

Do you struggle with the January blues? What's one thing you can/will do to keep them at bay?           

Nope don’t have issues with the start of the year

Will you choose your own personal word of the year for 2025? What about a goal, resolution, or maybe even a bucket list? Elaborate as much or as little as you like. 

My word would be acceptance, because I feel like is better when we accept that some things are not in our control and not everyone will agree with your point of view.

I do not make resolutions because those fail, I do not have a bucket list because often those will fail, a goal is more achievable, but I don’t have any. 

I live life one day at a time and just roll with the flow.                       

Insert your own random thought here.

If someone is able to accept what is, then that person may feel less stressed, to truly believe in God one must be willing to give control over God, choosing and believing he is running the show and that we are in strong and good hands.

In order to love unconditional, one must be willing to accept someone as they are and not want to change them in any way.
