Strong old trees near the ocean and my house.
There are lots of things I hope for in 2024.
Peace.
Laughter. I read P.G. Wodehouse for laughter. The Code of the Woosters is a hoot.
Puppy love. The love of a pup old or young.
Play. Play with pup. Play with friends.
Silliness. Never too much silliness in my life, it is always welcome. Related to play, see above.
Reading. In this way I enlarge my world and my experiences and my knowledge. Reading Greenlights I get to learn some things Matthew McConaughey shares. Look for those green lights in life, friends.
Spend time outdoors. Breathe deeply in that clean outdoor air and send out prayers of thanks for all good things.
Continue to make new friends, welcome new people into church, invite them for coffee.
Pray for my country to turn back to our roots of freedom and faith and to secure our borders.
Change my routine a bit. Visit our Boardwalk and ride the horses on the carousel. See Silliness and Play above.
Plant more flowers and flowering shrubs and plant another fruit tree. I am thinking an apple tree.
Just some quick thoughts have created this list. What are some of your hopes for 2024?
I love P G Wodehouse but I listen to audiobooks. A good writer, a silly tale and a brilliant narration. Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI love P.G. Wodehouse, been reading (and listening to) his books ever since my teens... The Code of the Woosters is one of my favourites, too. Hoping for (fairly) good health for myself and friends...
ReplyDeleteA very nice list. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteThese are all very worthwhile New Years ideas! Hope you have
ReplyDeletea wonderful 2024.
Great list. I hope to get outdoors more this year also. Do a little more gardening in the yard and a few more cookouts. I hope to take more walks and get myself to the gym. I want to really seek out enjoyment in the small things.
ReplyDeleteThose are all good things to hope for. Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteLots of hopes for the people on earth Happy New Year
ReplyDeleteI like your list, Terra. And I agree with the silliness. It makes you laugh... and laughing is good. DH tends to sing little ditties when we're out and about. I used to tell him to stop, but now I think why not - it shows he's happy - and that's good. Wishing you a safe happy healthy 'silly' New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great start to the new year that list is! If we all tried to do those things, and if our "leaders" would help us a bit, we would could all look back this time next year at the wonderful year we'd just experienced. Keeping my fingers crossed.
ReplyDeleteThose are perfect hopes for 2024, and several of the things on your list could be on my list too and should be on everyone's. I hope for the best too. ❤❤

I really like your lists. How fun to have it to plan by. My biggest wish is for peace. Peace in families, in social media and in the world. Especially Israel.
ReplyDeleteI pray for the Lord Jesus to come quickly.
Wishing you and yours a very blessed New Year my friend.
Blessings and love,
Betsy
Oh, Terra, if you do nothing else, please ride a carousel horse. I'm not doing well, which is why I'm not keeping in touch. But I will work on doing better. Your cards last year were so supportive, so fun, so caring and kind. Sending love to you and Bounce. And the sons, even though I don't know them. You can never send out too much love.
ReplyDeleteYou have a wonderful list.
ReplyDeleteHappy new year
Cathy
Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI wish you to have a wonderful year and that all the things you wish for yourself will indeed come true.
ReplyDeleteI like your list, Terra. : )
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Blessings! ~Amelia

ReplyDeleteTerra: This is a lovely post, I hope 2024 is all you expect to have and do.
ReplyDeleteI am with you we need to make this Country what it used to be and the prayers and protection of Israel.
Being a follower of Our Lord I pray three times a day for peace and healing for all.

Wonderful hopes for 2024. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful and meaningful list for 2004.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year!!
This is a lovely list. But yes. Peace is #1.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend in Israel. I also have Palestinian friends I met in Illinois. I don't know the answer. I can only hope for it.
I wish you happiness and fun in 2024!
You have a great list here. Peace...YES, plant more flowers....YES, have fun and make more friends....YES. These are all great things. Hope 2024 delivers all of this for you and for others as well. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great list...love the one being silly. Sometimes we just have to be kids again and enjoy kicking up our heels. Yes may there be peace and of course we can never go wrong planting more flowers :)! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteI also love my pup. I love puppies to play with them in my free time at home. It's a great way to make your day full of smiles by playing with animals.
ReplyDeleteWe all need a dose of silliness ion our lives. A robust sense of humour helps to balance the seriousness in life. My hopes for 2024 are pretty much like everyone else's I suppose - peace and harmony, an end to misery and suffering and the ability to find pleasure in small things.
ReplyDeleteGood plans! Thanks for visiting me!
ReplyDeleteI would say I wish the same ! We really need laughter and sunshine !
ReplyDeleteI stayed 10 days in Istambul, what an interesting city ! I really loved it very much ! Impressive to go by tram from Europe to Africa !!
Great things on your list for 2024, Terra. Peace, laughter and love, along with respect for others and reconciliation would be on my list.
ReplyDeleteA happy and peaceful new year to you x
Peace is the most important since everyone seems angry and no one has ideas on how to compromise.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful trees. May all of your dreams come true. I hope for peace, healing, and and a healthy life for all in this world. May everyone use their talents and reach their full potential.
ReplyDeleteMany of the same as you have. Peace is at the top of the list and reconciliation. In my little world, reading, travel and lots of walking. Happy and healthy 2024 to you!
ReplyDeleteGreat list, I hope to enjoy life in 2024..........
ReplyDeleteYou have wonderful things on your list, Terra! Wishing you all the best in 2024!
ReplyDeleteAll the things you hope for are very good!! So you live by the sea? Those trees are stunning!
ReplyDeleteJanuary 21....
