Today is my last day doing check-ins with you wonderful lot! So I wanted to leave you with this thought, which is not really a discussion question at all but something I wanted to share nonetheless.

I believe, were we all to somehow simultaneously win the lottery and retire to our respective secluded mountain/tropical island/underground former-missile-silo——we would all still write. We would all still have stories to tell. And I find that very, very powerful & heart-warming.

(And possibly a bit crazy, but oh well, that just means you are all my exactly my type of people.)
