Cool water cascading to low ground
To spread good will and hope all around.

Prompt: 2025.
What are your plans and hopes for the new year?

-----------

To answer your question, to live through it in one piece. At my age, this is the best I can do. *Laugh*

In addition, I hope no more businesses will close due to financial problems or any other ones. And my bank stays put where it is. I'm worried they'll close the branch close to me and I'll have to travel to the next town. Then, I hope all wars will end, and at least while I am alive, no ruler or no country will start more wars and acts of terrorism. I also wish that my sons and everyone else's kids stay happy, healthy, and successful.

On the other hand, there’s really not much difference between an old year and a new one. I don’t need a new year to make positive changes in my life, I can do that anytime. However, what better time than now? Now is an "always" word. Now means the moment or time I'm in and I'm always in the "now." And "now", if I want to see some real, positive change in my life, it’s going to take some hard thinking.

"Change is always difficult, but it is so worth it," they say! Really?

In old age, any change is almost impossible to handle because we don't have the same material and capability in our bodies and minds. My kids argue this point with me. They say, "But didn't you hear about the 97 year-old man who climbed such and such a mountain?" But, my dears, an exception doesn't make the rule.

Luckily, I've been "so far so good." In other words, still manageable...somewhat! We'll see! *Rolling*
