The older I get the more I love documenting the ordinary and it’s something I want to get more consistent in.

I listen to a podcast called Happier by Gretchen Rubin. Gretchen and her sister for the last couple of years done resolutions but a little differently. The list includes the last number of the year, like 19 in 2019 or 20 in 2020. I have done it the last three years or so and I haven’t done that well on them.
