At the end of last year, I was feeling somewhat out of sorts. For whatever reason, the pandemic had caused me to fall into a funk. I wasn’t doing many of the things I enjoyed, even though I had plenty of time. I had stopped writing in my journal, I wasn’t blogging anymore, and I wasn’t reading nearly as much as I wanted. By the time December rolled around, I realized I wanted, or rather, needed, to do something about it. So, I decided to make 2023 The Year of Words.
