Happy 2023 to my readers – both old and new! There is something about the start of a new year which infuses fresh energy and rigor into our dreams, goals and resolutions. Technically it is just a date change on the calendar, but still we party on the 31st and then magically start eating healthy and working out from the 1st (or atleast I do!). I was thinking about my 2023 resolutions while binge watching Younger (a TV series I love) when the character of Diana Trout dropped this gem of a quote in Season 6 (watch a clip here): …
