Stephany gave me a One Line a Day five-year memory book in December 2023, and I spent last year filling it out. Now, as I add entries for this year, I get to compare them to last year’s and reflect on how things compare. It’s been fun! This is one of my all-time fave gifts and I love it so much I bought a couple of them to gift this year (and plan to do more in the future!).

Had to pose the book with Stephany’s best friend Khali

So far this year is off to a better start. I wasn’t sick on January 1 like last year and the January 9 work problem I said “better be f*cking resolved next year” is (but it took until last summer! eek!)!

Mostly, I am noticing I started last year with a lot of “first xyz of the year” entries:

  • First El Famous visit of the year (on Jan 2 last year… and this year)
  • First WWM class of the year (on Jan 3 last year… and this year)
  • First INR visit of the year
  • First in-office work day
  • And so on

Have you done anything this year that made you stop and think, “This is my first time doing that this year”? What was it?
