2024, The Year of Endings

I am closely connected to what is now happening in Lake Lure, North Carolina, and as that hits home, it jolted me to know that there are many things that are about to come to an end.

From historic towns overtaken by nature, family members and pets lost to death, relationships that simply smoldered away, and even the major changes about to take place in politics, 2024 is foreshadowing to be the year of endings.

As I enter into my retirement stage and head to my log cabin in the mountains in about three years, there are many things in my life that will also be ending. My current home, where I've been living for the past seventeen years, the friendships that I'll be leaving behind, and even this blog, which expires at the end of this year.

With all these endings, on one note, it's sad because it's been a lifetime of ongoing events, and to end some of these things is sad. On the other hand, one must end some things in order to start anew.

This past week has been particularly hard and has forced me into a corner of decision-making. It's the decision to put my blog to the side and get ready for a new sector, even perhaps starting a new blog about something totally different, but I definitely feel a big change coming up quickly.

I've been thinking about this topic for quite some time now but wasn't sure how or when to put it into words. But, as I said, it was a very difficult week mentally and emotionally for me, so the timing seemed right.

I've enjoyed this blog so much, starting way back in 2014 when the Angels told me to write it, and now, they are nudging me to move on. They are being quiet as to what the next move for me will be, solely because I haven't asked them yet, but that too, is coming soon.

No one knows what the future holds, although I will say that I do get very accurate glimpses from time to time. But it's best not to know and just to live in the present moment.

There are new people to bond with in my community in the mountains, and who knows what interests will come through based on the needs of the people there, or just my needs. I do know that I need time to process many things that have happened or are about to happen, and the best thing is just to stay in the present timeline.

I am excited for the ending of 2024. I'm excited for the beginning of the next "round" in life, wherever that takes me. Will this be my last post for Angel Hug 2:34? Maybe, unless the Angels have something else in mind between now and December. I will say this, for me, the end of the year is my time to stop working and focus on family, enjoy friends, and put all other things aside to just love one another and be there for each other... and that, my friends, is a great ending to a new beginning!
