What a great resolution. I’ll join you, not literally sadly, as I think we’d get along famously, but I’ll log hikes here in California, and books too. I love these two things and often get completely eaten up by work and being worthy and productive. Maybe, who knows, we might be more creative and more productive with more reading and more time to think and be in nature. Thanks for your inspiration. Sue B.
Thanks, Sue! Good luck with the hikes & books. I’m jealous that you’re in California 🙂
