The holidays have always afforded me more time for introspection and reflection. There’s something about this time of year that brings about deeper consideration.

I’ve often wondered how much the proximity of Christmas and the New Year affects anything. We come together with our families to celebrate the most important holiday (in mainstream American culture), and then immediately “end” the year and begin anew.

This pastime has been altered two years in a row already with the pandemic. In the third year, let’s spend time with our tribe, cherish the good we do enjoy, and rejuvenate for more work to be done in 2022.
