Thankful for all who work in hospitality. You help us when we are tired and hungry and not our best selves, feeding the hungry and sheltering the traveler. May you be blessed with appreciative guests in the new year. #NYEprayers #2024gratitudes

Praying also for those who are bullies and abusers. Praying that you will find healing from your inner pain and fear, and that you will find the strength to be better than those who bullied or abused you.

Every day I am grateful for the Internet and the many blessings it brings, especially for those who are disabled, sexual or gender minorities, or members of other marginalized groups. Be kind to each other, y'all, okay?

I'm very thankful for the presidential campaign of Kamala Harris this year. While I loathe our pres-elect and have many fears about the next four (plus?) years, she was an inspiration and a joy. And I'm praying for America.

I'm grateful that I have enough income that when I feel miserable, I can opt for the drive-thru rather than cooking supper.

Thankful for air conditioning, fans, and ice packs, since I experience heat intolerance as a result of one of the disabling conditions I have. And prayers for all who are exposed to dangerous weather.

Thankful for the Professional Women's Hockey League, which had its first game on New Year's Day of 2024. It's been amazing to watch the inspiration and joy among girl fans, and I'm looking forward to seeing a live game in March!

I'm incredibly thankful to be married to @verumsolum.bsky.social. She is a wellspring of patient strength, still when I'm bouncing around like a squirrel on uppers, supportive when I feel weak as water, and kind and generous perhaps to a fault.

I pray for those who struggle with eating disorders. It was in 2023 when I learned that I have an eating disorder and that it's been with me since I was a schoolchild. May the Great Healer bring peace to us all. #NYEprayers #2025wishes #health

... I made mistakes, and I know I've disappointed and frustrated people, and I have learned so much from the experience.

It's been several years since I posted prayers on New Year's Eve, but it's a worthy tradition so I'm picking it back up for the eve of 2025. If you want to play along, I'm planning to use the hashtags #2024gratitudes and #2025wishes, along with #NYEprayers.
