Hey there!
How has your week been? For me, itās been one of those whooshā¦ thereās the week sprinting by, and now itās Friday again. Where did the time go? Iām here for it, actually āĀ weekend plans are to clean the house, spend a bit of time outside (hello, sunshine!), and generally be present so kids can do their things: theater practice, D&D meetup at the local library, play outside with the neighbor kidsā¦ Basically, itās a normal weekend, and I couldnāt be happier.
Also, a little heads up that Iām experimenting this week with The Good List episode releasing on Friday (today!), instead of Thursday. If I like this work rhythm, thisāll probably be the new normal. Iām sure youāve barely noticed, but I wanted to mention it.
5 Quick Things āļø
1.Ā This week I shared the 11th most popular post of all time on AoS. Another surprising one (at least to me)!
2.Ā Andrea actually gave me her #2 item on her list here for Christmas, and I agree, itās a delight. And I love her thoughts about the fourth itemā¦
3.Ā Remember you will die. Yep, that ideaās on my Good List! š Today, I explain why ā and also how to make thinking about this a healhy, life-giving habit.
4. This has been my reality the past decade. Cāest la vie. š¤·āāļø
5.Ā Did you love The Good Place as much as me? Look at what someone took the time to create.
Quotable š¬
āRemembering that Iāll be dead soon is the most important tool Iāve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Almost everything ā all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure ā these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.ā

Four years ago,Ā Osheta wrote about customer service shalom, and I still think about this gem of wisdom all the time.
Have a great weekend!
xo, Tsh
p.s.Ā Currently on my nightstand: this, this, this (finally!), and this (because of the class I teach, but also because of course).
