Looking back before looking ahead
As we embark on the busy end of year celebrations, it’s nice to take a moment and reflect on the year that has been. Can you identify the things that brought joy into your life? What are the hobbies, activities or people that consistently brightened your days, fuelled your soul and made a positive impact on who you are and the choices you made?
Whatever you land on, making the conscious decision to bring more of that energy into the new
year will set the tone for a year guided by purpose and positivity.
For the upcoming Christmas season, while it is a happy and exciting time for many, it can also be
difficult. If you find you are feeling lonely or isolated, suffering from grief or loss, under financial stress or family tensions, there is support available.
The Knox Community Christmas Support (KCCS) ‘Sharing the Joy’ Project ensures everyone in the Knox City area has some festive food, and every parent/carer has a gift for their child(ren), to celebrate the Christmas season.
For those who would normally spend Christmas alone, Foothills Community Care hosts a Christmas
Eve lunch. Visit their website to register for a seat at their table.
I hope that however you choose to celebrate this time of year, you can still find a place to connect with
others, a warm meal and thoughtful conversation.
On behalf of the Gully News team, thank you to all those who consistently contribute, advertise,
deliver and read our paper. Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a joyful festive season. May it be a time for connection, reflection and hope for the year ahead.
