What happens next: saying ‘yes’ to you in 2024

The shopping has long been done, we’re all partied out, the gifts have been unwrapped (and a few returned), the cookies are now crumbs, the decorations sparkle a bit less—which can also be said of many of us. It’s that time of year, much like within the world of a good book, when we reach the climactic high just before the denouement—or fall. The letdown, if you will. When all the loose ends are finally wrapped up and you ask yourself if it’s worth sparing the time to finish the last few pages. With only five more days remaining in 2023, that’s the space in which I occupy. Yet, there’s something about the anticipation of Jan. 1 that propels me to see what happens next. As we prepare to ring in the new year, perhaps it’s time to say yes to a lifestyle change, or to chase a dream. Because here’s the thing: life is short, so why wait?

What will you commit to in 2024?
