My Shocking New Year's Resolution

The ending of 2022 felt like saying goodbye to a bad houseguest. I just wanted it to be gone.

Good things happened in 2022. But they were weighed down by the burdens of stress and sadness.

Some events in our lives are beyond our control. Certain responsibilities are unavoidable. Others we take on (okay, speaking for myself) because somebody has to take care of the task, and no one else is stepping up.

In 2023, I pledge to take care of myself before tackling all those have-to-dos that really don't have to be done.

My resolution? Me First.
