Happy New Year! If you're like me, you took time at the end of 2023 to review the year and set resolutions for 2024. Starting fresh with new goals felt empowering, but just one week in and we're already slipping, failing to follow through. Not surprising since statistically over 90% of New Year's resolutions are abandoned in the first few months.

Whether you want to quit a bad habit, complete an unfinished project, or get your body in shape with a new diet or gym routine, mindfulness and life balance are key factors for success.

Regardless of resolutions, good health is important to maintain. If you fail in some area, remember it's never too late to make a change. Be mindful, keep moving forward, and don't give up! That's good advice for meta solving, too. Good luck!

(Shout out to Peter @Abide and @MarkWoychick for their helpful advice and support and to @Joe Ross for his ongoing technical support. Thanks, guys!)

Awesome... Fun and clever. What a great theme for a meta.


I am so glad that the New year started yesterday and today is the second day of the new year so that with Pandora's Box and the MMM, I'm off and running with a great track record of meta solving and there was nothing and nowhere about metas and 2024 before yesterday. Two for Two this year!

My resolution is to get back on track with daily metas after travel-related slacking last week. :lol:
Mission accomplished so far. Fun stuff, thanks.
