What is something you want to achieve this year?

Well, here goes nothing.

This is the first day of 2023, and the first post of the Bloganuary challenge.

New Year’s resolutions have never been something I’ve managed to keep for long, but I usually spend at least some of the first day of a new year wading through wishes I hope might come true in the next 365 days.

I guess I’ll just go ahead and get the obligatory weight loss out of the way.

I think I have somewhere around 65 pounds to lose.

I’m hoping to weigh in at about 160 pounds by this summer’s trip to Utah so I can have an easier time moving through the Beehive State’s national parks.

I also want to seek less from others this year.

I want to work on myself, shrink my personal blind spots and be more introspective.

I want to listen more and speak less.

For 2023, I want to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly.
