Just as this sunset says good night to the day, today’s sunrise is ushering in a new year. Seems like a. great time for a reset!
What is on the horizon for 2026? I am not sure. There are ideas and plans but I have never been one to think of all the details. One thing I’ve learned in life is that one’s best plans can change at any moment. I have often started in one direction and God has changed my path along the way.
