The Nielsons are ready for 2025!
Tonight, Jane made us a lovely New Year's Eve dinner
and together, we made fun drinks every
hour on the hour starting at 7:00.
We took lots of photos and made 2025 goals.
We placed last year's bubblie bottle with our 2024 goals on the
fence line outside in the dark, and we each took turns shooting
at it until Christian finally hit the bottle.
It was fun to read what I had written to myself.
At the end of my letter, I wrote;
"Be good to yourself".
I got teary-eyed. How true is this?
It's so easy to be my own harshest critic.
It’s painful to realize that sometimes I hold myself back from progressing
because of a lack of confidence.
Opening a Barre3 studio has been huge for me.
And sometimes, when things get hard, or I don't know what things mean,
I want to crawl in a shell and never come out.
My biggest fear is looking stupid.
This year, I'm going to be good myself.
Good and patient.
We played games and ate my traditional Yule Log
for dessert. We let off fireworks at midnight, kissed,
and then went to bed.
Tomorrow morning, we're all planning on jumping in the frigid lake
to officially welcome 2025!
