Jan 1, 1:43 AM:
I’m looking forward to keeping quotes this year. I have a lot of exciting events planned this year. You’ll see what they are. 🙂
My favorite benefit of keeping this log is it forces me to be present in most situations. I don’t like being somewhere and zoning out. I want to experience life as it unfolds in front me.
Here’s to a memorable 2024. 🥂
