Take a moment: New Year Reflection Questions DECEMBER 30, 2025 / ADINA BAILEY /
As you close out 2025, I've been thinking a lot about the people who carry us through the hardest and most beautiful parts of life.
One highlight of my year was my oldest son's college rocketry team winning NASA's Student Launch competition. Our friends who supported him along the way by asking for updates only added to our joy! Conversely, some of my hardest days were around Thanksgiving when I was missing my dad. A plant that I had been given years ago to remember him bloomed in November and was a small reminder of his life.
As I've been thinking back on my year, I wanted to offer some reflection questions centered on caring for ourselves and others through all the joy and heaviness a year brings. You can jot down your answers in a journal or use them as conversation starters around the table.
A Few New Year Reflection Questions with a Take Them A Meal Twist
Small kindnesses often become our biggest memories.
One intentional reach-out can change someone's whole year.
Rest, boundaries, and new routines all count. My husband and son committed to reading 50 pages a day in 2025-and they have reached their goal. Their stack of finished books is inspiring. When you set your mind to something that's important to you and follow through, it's a wonderful feeling. I'm so proud of them! As the clock turns to 2026, may you carry forward the people who have loved you well and a renewed desire to care for both yourself and others.
Warmly,
Adina
