SLINGING SLICE

Happy New Year!

Have you ever wondered how it was decided that January 1st would be the start of a New Year? Well let me tell you. My google search says, that Pope Gregory XIII introduced a revised calendar in 1582. In addition to solving the issue with leap years, the Gregorian calendar also restored January 1 as the start of the New Year. So Goodbye 2024 and Hello 2025. Out with the Old, and in with the New. New Year, new beginnings, new opportunities. New Year, new mindset, new focus, new intentions, new results. Anyway, by now you get my point.

I gave up making New Year resolutions a few years ago, mostly because by January 15th, I had long forgotten what those resolutions were that I made - Hello ADHD brain, Goodbye New Year's resolutions! lol. I then tried choosing a word for the new year, but again, by Jan 15th, I had already forgotten what that word was.

This year, I am again trying something new, knowing very well, I will likely forget. New Year's "In's" - a comprehensive list, now written here as a reminder for me, of all the things I want to embrace in 2025. 52 Ins for 52 Weeks of 2025:
