It is my custom to pause at years’ end and reflect. I do a great deal of reflecting, finding that as I mature I have more time to think and more to think about. A gentle way of admitting I am getting old! It has been a wonderful year. I no longer set as many goals and therefore don’t disappoint myself, or others, but quietly move through the days, appreciating all that I am and all that I have. Being present.

As 2017 comes to a close, many of us are now looking towards 2018. Regardless of whether the last 12 months have been good, bad or somewhere in the middle, most of us have the goal of making the new year better than the last.

Year end is always a good time for reflection. Times and conditions change so people have to continually change as well. I am not talking about changing the foundations of our world as they were put in place by God. Nor am I suggesting that people rip up their faith and belief systems. Those are always due for evaluation and analysis but faith in God should be a somewhat immovable thing.

I am steadily moving up this life’s ladder. It is a good climb. The higher I go the more I have to look back on and reflect. The Christmas’ of my past slowly passed before me.

Christmas is upon us, which means that so too is the season of sweets and baking. Last week’s Neepawa Banner & Press had a collection of seasonal recipes and no matter your taste — sweet or savoury, simple or extravagant— there’s a recipe out there. From cookies to truffles, mincemeat to bars and sausage rolls to cakes, everyone has their favourite Christmas treat.
