As I inked up a date stamp for a cursory card for 2024 goals, I lament not capturing a summation of the year that passed.
I used to make galleries of favorite photos from the year back in the day. It’s a lovely exercise and a fun way to jump into a flood of images. But when I look back at photos from 2023 (warning, loads slowly) I can’t choose favorites anymore.
Admission, there are some (really) boring snapshots. But they commingle with others of import and all end up cherished.
So what were the highlights? What did I accomplish or learn?
All I can say with confidence is that:
- Life is short
- Sometimes there are doldrums to shake
- Eat as many good and healthy things as possible
- Save room for dessert
- Move your body
- Minimize passive consumption (news / social media)
- Never hesitate to let someone know you are thinking about them
- Make time for loved ones — like, a lot of time
