resolution

Now that the big day is come and gone, we can start thinking about wrapping up 2023.

For me, 2023 was a huge year. Job change, life change, new roles, big accomplishments, travel, upsets, stumbles, achievements beyond belief and deleting hundreds of little things from my life. I had given myself the back half of the last year to figure things out after which I’d pretty much felt certain that life would start to make a bit more sense.

It doesn’t, of course. But the calendar is about to turn over and…

It’s not a wonder at all that I’m eagerly pondering 2024.

The new year is often a time of making resolutions, kicking off new projects, or setting big goals. I usually do that, and usually I stick with a few of my resolutions and find myself in a very different place at the change of the calendar twelve months later. This year is not much different, but those changes are motivated by the events of 2023, the events of the year past almost as much as a resolve about the future.

Maybe things will make more sense in 2024. Or maybe not. But we can resolve to hope so and aspire to find out, right?
