Happy New Year – 2026! Blessings into the New Year!

Posted on December 31, 2025 by jjspina

I can’t believe it is now 2026 in some parts of the world or almost here! Where does the time go? Sometimes I wish I could stop time and correct and revise things before they disappear. Don’t you? Is there something that you wish you could redo? I know there are a lot of things I wish I could change but that is something to work on in 2026!

What are you thankful for in 2025? What do you plan to change in 2026? You don’t have to answer these questions. They are more rhetorical in nature.

I will list all the things that I am thankful for below.

  1. My husband who is my staunchest supporter
  2. My family who I feel blessed to love and who love me unconditionally
  3. My friends who I cherish
  4. My readers, fans and fellow authors who support me
  5. My health that it may stay strong
  6. My ability to write – God given and appreciated!
  7. My creativity – may it continue.
  8. My positivity – may it inspire me
  9. My ability to sympathize and empathize with others
  10. I appreciate every day that I have left and I will use each one to the fullest extent for good.

I pray that 2026 will be a better year health-wise for all of us. Some have suffered so much and I pray that they will be free from sickness and war in 2026 and beyond.

In 2026 I plan to keep writing, reading, reviewing, blogging, emailing and promoting my books. I hope you will continue to read them. Here they are below using AllAuthor.com promos. There is something for everyone in your family at JemsBooks. Begin the new year with books and enrich your life and the lives of your children by encouraging them to read daily. It’s also a great way to escape the troubles of the world by shutting off the TV, video games and have some quiet time with a book! I love it!

Reading is important not only to keep your children’s reading levels up all year long but also it can increase their vocabulary, spark their creativity, enhance their health and wellbeing, and encourage them to become lovers of books. Let’s bring up a generation of readers and thinkers who will become successful and confident adults one day.

    I love reading your list, it makes my heart smile. You know, I have thought long and hard about what I would change, and honestly, I cannot think of a thing since whether or not it seemed to challenge me or cradle me this past year, I have emerged stronger, healthier AND more alive than I thought I might be when this year began. Life always works in my favor! Happiest of New Years, dear Janice. Here’s to the best WE can be, whatever may be ahead!!! ❤
