Did you know that the word December translates to “tenth month” in English, signifying December originally being the tenth month in the ancient Roman calendar, and only had 30 days? The birthstone of December is Blue Topaz and its flower(s) are the Narcissus, Holly, and Poinsettia.

As for important events occurring in December, on December 8, 1991, the USSR was dissolved; the U.S. Bill of Rights became effective on December 15, 1791; the Battle of the Bulge began on December 16, 1944; and finally, anesthesia was used for the first time in London on December 21, 1846.

DECEMBER REFLECTION

As one would expect, December’s most-read posts revolved around the holidays, including our Christmas greeting, our recap of the top stories of 2023, and our 24-day challenge to read the Book of Luke (which I did). Most of the remaining top 10 were original posts from Moteventure, including a new Follower Spotlight, a post on my favorite exercises/activities, a new Daily Prompt, and my wish list of cities to visit in my lifetime.

COMING IN JANUARY

What will you see this month? I’m mulling over the choice for our latest reaction video to post to our YouTube channel; we’ll be spotlighting more of our newest followers, hitting the site with a new entry in our novel “Relentless”, looking to update our online store with less costly (for you) but still high quality merchandise, adding new entries to “This…or That” as well as “Our Ten – The Music Series”, and of course, sharing the best news, helpful information, and personal stories we can dig up!

WE NEED YOU!

daily prompt

DO YOU SPEND MORE TIME THINKING ABOUT THE FUTURE OR THE PAST? WHY?

I tend to work on the future but usually think more of the past. To me, the past harbors lessons impacting the future, so it’s only natural to learn from the past.
