Share 4 Somethings

 

Happy Saturday, friends! Welcome to the last Share 4 Somethings link party of 2024! The new year's prompts are at the end of this post, so stay tuned. For today, for one last time this year, we're talking about the things we loved or disliked, accomplished, improved upon or needs improvement, and noticed this month. I'll jump in!

I loved all the fun festivities this month! Getting to go to The Orpheum for plays was such a treat that two of my sweet friends extended to me. 

Both Peter Pan and Charlie Brown Live were adorable.

I loved when this big tree finally made her appearance in our grand foyer at church! 

I loved going here for lunch with my friend Dedee one afternoon; we sat here for three solid hours as we caught up with each other. It's always like that when we meet for lunch! We never run out of things to say. 

I accomplished the things I set out to this month! I sincerely hoped to be finished with Christmas shopping early, and I am so glad that it turned out that way. I finished the Monday before Thanksgiving, and I wrapped everything early. I finished up the last of the wrapping last Monday, and I'm glad since I ended up being down with my back. 

I love seeing presents under the tree. 

I improved upon my perspective this month, and hopefully my attitude and mindset. I tried not to focus on things outside of my control, and I didn't give too much time and energy into thinking negatively about (ahem) anyone or anything. I definitely didn't succeed at this one hundred percent of the time, but I get better at this the more that time goes on. 

The Word of God helped me with this; I have not neglected my quiet time in the mornings, and I know that so much of what I'm experiencing in the ways of peace, love, and hope are all a direct result of that. I read the Word of God to help me know Him more, but I am also always encouraged myself as I read. 

I noticed lots of good things this month: that I felt more at peace this Christmas than ones in the past, that my joy seems deeper than ever before, that my family and friends are my always for me, that there is always something to be thankful for, that giving really is better than receiving, and that I have so much to love about my current life. I'm so grateful for all of these things, and I never say that lightly. 

I love this little link party so much; let's do it again next year! I'll keep it on the same day of every month, the last Saturday of the month, and even if I'm ever taking a blog break or forget to mention it here in the days preceding that Saturday, I promise to be here with the link open. I'll keep it open for a couple of weeks each month, so I don't care how late or early you are to the party. The prompts for the entire year will be the same each month—some things we loved, some things we learned, some things that went well, and some things we let go of. I hope you make plans now to join me each month! The dates will be January 25, February 22, March 29, April 26, May 31, June 28, July 26, August 30, September 27, October 25, November 29, and December 27. I include those now for all fellow blog planning friends. Thanks for being here to read and join in with me today, friends! Love to all. 

P.s. Here's a new graphic for 2025 if you're interested! Please make not of the change in my URL.
