Thanks for following along with this experiment. The goal, as I wrote last year, was to send you one item to read, watch, indulge, sit with, ponder – to "declutter the attention landscape" in your life for a few minutes.

I cannot fathom a more perfect holiday bow on the experiment than this article: The Sad, Beautiful Fact That We're All Going To Miss Almost Everything.

A few of the writer's media observations haven't aged well, but hey, when I can predict the future, I'll let you know. The opinion piece represents a joyful, triumphant push against cultural-performative behaviors. (I have never seen an episode of Portlandia, but a particular scene captures exactly what I'm describing. I know, breaking my own rules of one item.)

Read the article, please. Consider how a pandemic-weary 2021 You might apply its lesson. See you at the end of the month for a regularly scheduled post!
