My friend Mary S. From Grand Rapids and Naples shared this on New Year’s Day. Too good not to pass along…
As The Chapter Closes…author unknown to me
…As we stand at the threshold of another year’s end, our hearts hold both shadows and light. 2024 brought us moments that tested our strength, taught us resilience, and showed us who truly stands beside us when storms gather.
To those we lost – your absence echoes in the quiet moments, but your love continues to guide us forward. To the challenges that brought us to our knees – thank you for showing us we are stronger than we knew.
Some of us carry scars that the world cannot see, fought battles in silence, and found courage in the darkest hours. Yet here we stand, breathing, hoping, dreaming still. Tonight, we release the weight of what was, honoring both our tears and triumphs. They have shaped us, but they do not define our tomorrow.
As the sun sets on this chapter, we gather our hopes like stars, ready to paint them across a fresh canvas. Tomorrow brings not just a new year, but a chance to begin again – wiser, braver, and more grateful for each breath we share.
To 2024 – thank you for your lessons. To 2025 – we step toward you with open hearts, ready to write new stories of love, healing, and possibility.
May we all find peace in letting go and courage in beginning anew.
Happy New Year! 💝
