Welcome to the final issue of the Weekly Thing for 2021! After I hit send on Issue #207 I won’t be back to your inbox until January 22nd with issue #208. What will you do to enjoy your Saturday morning coffee without the Weekly Thing? I’m sure you will figure something out. 😊

I really enjoy the holiday season, and try to slow things down. It is the perfect opportunity for me to take some purposeful time to reflect. With the higher than usual level of volatility in our lives over the last couple of years, I think that time for reflection is more needed than ever. I also have this growing feeling that in addition to the volatility, we all have a lot more noise in our lives than we ever had before. There are so many ways for things to get to us. Too many. Solitude may be the rarest commodity of all, even rarer than privacy.

The retail industry put Cyberweek 2021 in the books this week which is always a big week for everyone. It is great to see everything scale up, processes humming along, and years of expertise come together to deliver great results. 👏

For everyone in the United States I hope you and your families had a wonderful Thanksgiving Day! I had almost forgotten how we spent last year without vaccines and celebrating Thanksgiving by ourselves for the first time. It was nice to be with family again.

Seeing news of a new COVID-19 variant, Omicron, has me wondering what turns the pandemic is about to make. I’m dubious of our ability to stop the spread of a variant. At best we may slow it down.

I’m behind deadline this morning and finished putting together this Weekly Thing pre-dawn as the late-fall sun was slowly rising. I don’t mind it though. A blank document, some wood-wick candles, and a delicious cup of hot coffee is a great way to start any day.

I’m Jamie Thingelstad, and you (in theory) signed up for this weekly letter from me sharing things that I have found notable and engaging for the week.

Last weekend we hosted the Things 4 Good Fall Fundraiser and it was a great success! We had more than 100 people stop in to buy hand-crafted Wicky Thing Candles, a custom Jiggy Thing Puzzle, Four Bees Honey, and fresh baked cookies. It was great fun hosting everyone, and the kids particularly enjoyed walking guests through the various options and checking them out. Plus we had awesome custom shirts! 🤩
