Thoughtful Daily Post Curation Compilation #44

It doesn't count if there's no books. by @honeydue

I'm lucky enough that I come from a family where books have always been appreciated gifts. Though throughout our extended family, reading tastes differ quite a lot, books have always been a staple of Christmas or birthday parties. Christmas shopping for family was always going to the bookstore, and then wrangling up something else like a sweater or a bathing set or something to prop up the gift bag but the book was always the main aspect. Needless to say my happiest and most memorable Christmases past involved books. What do you want?

New Year's Wishes & Stars by @duvinca

Hello people! I am left thinking today... this year is coming to an end, another one is starting soon. What will happen? Time seems to pass quickly, and the moments of ideas, plans and good wishes begin again

Memento Mori | Reflections on Time and Life by @coloringiship

Image source: It's the time of year when reflections come easily, albeit not necessarily with comfort. The end of the year carries the weight of what has been accomplished as well as what needs to be done. For many, it is a season of reckoning, a time to reflect on accomplishments and chart new aspirations. However, the end of another year reminds me of something deeper, something inescapable: the impermanence of it all. When I was younger, I hardly thought about mortality

Friends... Now? by @balikis95

That's how the end always is. Friends. People would want that circle of yours when all that is left is an "apple juice" to satisfy their taste. But, the moment the "lemon taste" hits you, they are always gone in a flash. I believe we all know this

Evaluating the life by @intishar

It's the 19th of December months and a few more days to go to the end of the year. I just feel like the year started a few weeks ago and now it's almost the end of the year. It's like my time was stolen somehow. I know it's kind of ridiculous and weird thinking because i passed all the time for real and there is no chance of stealing time. All of a sudden I realized it again because today was the last class of the year as from tomorrow the winter vacation will be started

My journey of becoming more mindful by @friendlymoose

While going through the different blogs on Hive I suddenly came across the ThoughtfulDailyPost community. I did notice it before, but I didn't really paid attention to it before. But since have been busy with my personal development this year it caught my attention this time. When I read about the weekly prompt I thought I'd share my experiences and my "goals for the new year". I'm using quotes since I'm not really into New Year's resolutions

A New Day To Be Grateful by @cup-bearer

Being in a bad situation does not mean you need to be sad and must show to everyone that you are in pain. Let us remember that in darkness we can see the light, and that light symbolizes hope. In the previous days we experienced unstable weather here in our town. It rained, and sometimes the sun shines above. It made me think of our struggles in life that even in happy situations, we can still feel anxious and it would lead us to think of negative thoughts

More of a Diary by @jerrytsuseer

If it weren't for these guys, I don't know if I'd be here today I cannot believe it has been 22 days since my last post, but the dates don't lie. Since that time, the guy who had been helping me with all this no longer returns my calls etc, and I cannot figure out why. I did get two dinged up doors AND the barndoor hardware for them, but I cannot do this by myself. I also got another person who supposedly had construction skills and experience (Can you install vinyl siding? I can watch some videos and figure it out) In 2 hrs he got the bottom metal starter strip and one course of siding up

Do It But Give It Your All. by @wongi

I've come to realize that only the thought of not getting “it” right is enough to make people deter from their initial plan. Questions like “what if something goes wrong? ” Or “what if I do not get it right? ” usually come up. Embracing the unknown can be very terrifying because there is always something to lose and many people do not like the idea of having to lose one thing in order to get something else but in cases like this, an individual usually has two options; give up the idea or try, fail and learn from your mistakes

The Circle of Reflection by @acgalarza

🌟 Reflection is the First Step to Growth. As the year winds down, it’s the perfect time to pause and reflect. I encourage you to take a moment to look back on your journey—what worked, what didn’t, and what lessons shaped you? Reflection isn’t just about the past; it’s about paving a better path forward. Whether it’s through journaling, quiet moments of solitude, or simply revisiting your goals, make space to reset and realign
