The new year can have the ability to really jump start a way of thinking. I was reading an essay about people on submarines and apparently, at least on this one submarine, they would celebrate halfway day. And it was a way to celebrate the fact that they were halfway through their tour of duty. It sort of seems to run out of energy for me in, you know, June, July, August. Now, maybe that's a sign I need to recommit and double down at that point. But it might also be a sign that like, okay, I've really lived with that word and that idea and I'm ready for something else to give me the energy to carry.
