Firstly, let me first thank everyone for their wonderful cards. I am so grateful people who could, managed to send cards half way around the world to us here in New Zealand. I got some totally cool e-cards as well!
I made a fun mini movie to showcase the paper cards!
Be Inspired
A student gifted me a cat calendar last year and the final photograph shows a hiking cat looking outward into a landscape. The cat stands on a high area overlooking distant slopes of pine that recede into the distance. They give the impression of endless hope and space, and there is a quote included with the photograph:
Reflect on the year, then go forth and explore
I thought this was so hopeful, and so brilliant for us pet bloggers. It does not demand ‘resolutions’ or lists, or plans, or goals. The quote inspires us to look back on our successes and our failures, then step into 2025 with fresh hope.
(I’m starting small by adding simple new blog post banners for cat photography, smartphones photography, and cat news!)
We can:
- We can share cats in need of homes
- We can comment on each others blogs
- We can support each other on when things get tough. (A kind word, a quick message or ecard).
- We can write poems, stories and draw paint and photograph our cats and dogs.
Be like Jack and Toulouse. Take that photo, smile and step forward into the New Year.
I wish you and yours a blessed and beautiful 2025!
Thank you Mimi, and may good fortune and peace come your way.
Happy New Year cutie kitties! I enjoyed seeing your pretty cards!

What a great movie!! We got a lot of the same cards (and we saw ours there).
Happy New Year!
Yes indeed, go forth in confidence and hope. Each day is a new one to explore!! Whata great way to show all your cards in that video.
I like the way Jack is trying to trip the camera selfie switch, LOL!
It IS a great quote and We will try to act accordingly, however tough it may seem to be.
Love the photo of Jack and Toulouse.
Hopefully your summer is in full swing and that there is peace now after such a noisy construction period outside. Lovely selfies of two of your clan.

That was a good idea to display your lovely cards in a video. I am glad to see that ours had arrived.
That is a good quote although last year was such a hard one I would rather not reflect on it. I am certainly going forth to explore, and with hope!
Happy 2025!
