Welcome to the first installment of Five-Thing Thursday for 2025! Instead of the usual 5 things I want you to know, I’m going to kick off 2025 with 5 things I’m going to carry with me throughout the year.
Here are those Five Things:
Thing #1: Be Grateful. Every day, acknowledge at least one thing I’m grateful for.
Thing #2: Find some bit of joy in every day. You find what you look for, so look for those delights.
Thing #3: Pay Yourself First. That thing you’re said you were going to do yesterday? Do that ASAFP so that it’ll be done before the rest of the day-to-day gets in your way.
Thing #4: Try something new – at least once a week. It can be anything as long as it’s new to you.
Thing #5: Don’t put off the good stuff.

What have I been reading?
Planetside by Michael Mammay
Dead Man’s Reach by D. B. Jackson
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson
What was new to me this week?
Shadows from the Past by Lords of the Trident. I’ve been going through their discography and this was released in 2018.
Sidebar: There’s a part of me that wants to do something like a review, and there’s another part of me that just wants to leave it as is – you know, to prevent a year-long string of “I dug it” or “It wasn’t for me” which is about the level of detail I’d default to. We’ll see how it goes.
