A Little Thanks
(at the end of the year)
As the year winds down, I want to take a moment to say thank you.
If you’ve read, shared, replied, or simply spent a few minutes of your time with something I’ve written this year, I’m genuinely grateful. Time is the one thing none of us has enough of, and the fact you chose to give some of yours to this newsletter means a lot.
Writing can feel like a one-way street at times, but it isn’t. Your notes, comments, and quiet encouragement have helped keep this going, especially on the weeks when motivation was thin. I don’t take that for granted.
For those of you celebrating, I wish you a very Merry Christmas. I hope it brings you some rest, good food, and a few moments with your family.
And if Christmas isn’t your thing, or you don’t celebrate it at all, I wish you the same in a broader sense: a peaceful end to the year, time to breathe, and a chance to reset before whatever comes next.
Thank you again for being here. I’m looking forward to writing more for you in the year ahead.
Take care,
Rick


Merry Christmas mate!
Happy Christmas, Rick! I look forward to good exchanges and great work in 2026!
