Today is the first day of the new year, January 1st, 2025. I love making resolutions. One of my favorite songs is City by Thao and the Get Down Stay Down has a lyric that I love:
“Rest and be strong, wash and be clean
Start a new year whenever you need”
I feel like I start a “new year” all the time, but starting one at the actual beginning of the new year does feel special. I have a lot of goals, which mostly have to do with staying healthy, reading, and writing. The purpose of this blog, for me, is to keep writing. As I type, I am looking at this reminder, from the poem
“For The Young Who Want To” by Marge Piercy. (Not that I am super young. Young at heart!)
I am currently working on a novel and some poems. I want to update this blog weekly with book reviews and general thoughts and motivations. Here is a book list I made of books that I want to start off with reading this year:
Cheers to a New Year, health for everyone, and lots of reading and writing.✨
