We’re going to be honest with you: We forgot to write this newsletter.
Yes, after 55 weeks of messages, we simply…forgot. Chalk it up to distraction or the holidays or, most likely, this year finally catching up to us. Listen people, our brains have been through the ringer.
For nine months, we have lived in this weird everything-is-new-and-also-nothing-is-changing existence. And sure, we can make jokes about the word “unprecedented” (remember when we put that in one million emails and updates?), but the truth is that this year has been unlike any other.
We have been through a lot. And we’re still standing.
So if you forget an email or a meeting, know that you’re not alone. If writing one more appeal feels like an insurmountable task, or if you wish that Facebook posts could magically post themselves, or if you desperately want a nap, you are in good company.
Simply being here, still doing the hard work day in and day out, is already a victory. You’re already winning.
So cheers to you and your unrelenting effort. And cheers to the email that sometimes has to send in the afternoon because our brains are tired and 2020 has been a lot and we’re all doing the best that we can.
