Gratituesday 7.1.25 - Halfway There!

Today is the half-way point of the year. I know, I know how can 2025 already be half over! Well, technically it’s tomorrow - July 2nd at 1PM, but I mean we’re done with the first 6 months of the year and we just started the second today.

I’ve read recently that we tend to do a lot of reflection and planning in the cold months leading to the first day of the year. For the most part, we are hibernating and in the middle of celebrating a bunch of winter holidays. There is something to be said about creating goals and reflecting in the summertime. When it’s light and there’s activity and a different type of celebration.

I don’t think I am going to change my habit of doing Year Compass in December and creating a plan for the year ahead. But this year half empty or half full idea does warrant a bit of reflection. Care to join me in my Weekly Lists? A bit of gratitude, celebration and desire? Wonderful, I’m happy to start. Let’s go!
