Bearing Fruit
The Friday Newsletter questions some long-held holiday assumptions
Hello, friends. Welcome back to another Friday at The Action Cookbook Newsletter.
We’re sliding into year-end mode right now; my kids are off school for the rest of the year as of this afternoon, and the parking garage by my office is already looking sparse. Emails are being met with out-of-office responses, and anything that hasn’t gotten done yet probably isn’t getting done. 2021 is almost a wrap.
Was it a good year? It all depends on perspective, I suppose.
2021 has been unquestionably better than 2020, but that’s like saying a dinner out was better than being kicked in the groin: it doesn’t tell you a lot about the meal. A lot of uncertainty still remains, and I’m sure many of you are feeling the same kind of general fatigue that I am with the ever-changing landscape.
What’s 2022 going to hold? Who can say. The best thing we can do right now is make optimistic plans, and hope that they bear fruit.
Hmm. Bear fruit. That almost sounds like I’m setting up a segue.
