January is such an exciting time of year because it feels like a fresh start - as if the losses of the previous year can be erased, and we have the opportunity to build on the wins of the previous year and reach new milestones.
It's also the time when most people, including us, set New Year's resolutions. Honourable mentions on our list this year include: going to the gym more, eating healthier, and connecting with our friends and family more regularly. While we'll be giving these our best shot, as we do every other year, there's a new resolution on the list for 2024. That is, to create more special moments and live more presently in those moments.
Sounds simple, doesn't it? But, in a world where we're constantly juggling multiple things at once, most of which appear to be priorities, this isn't as simple as it sounds. That is why we’re consciously going to prioritise this one resolution, amidst the chaos that is everyday life.
We want to create moments that remind us of the simplicities and joys of life and fully enjoy those experiences. Whether it's practicing an old hobby that we love but have lately neglected or staying at the beach for 10 minutes longer simply to watch the sunset, finally booking that vacation we've been planning for so long, or prioritising moments to catch up with friends and family to share, tell great stories and laugh until your belly hurts. When we're fortunate enough to have these experiences, may we thoroughly enjoy and fully take in those wonderful moments.
Our primary goal at NeverEnding is to create blissful moments that feel like a momentary pause in time through our dining events. For us, it's not just about the food - though that is a very important part of it - it is more than just the food. It's a chance to connect with our surroundings, the growers, farmers, producers, and the other guests at the table. And a chance to share, eat, laugh, and be present.
To avoid sounding overly philosophical, life is for living, and while we spend much of our days going through the motions with work, business, family life, and the like, let us not forget to create those moments that remind us of the essence of life.
So, here's to a year filled with moments of stillness, joy, and never-ending blissful moments and experiences.
