It reminds me of a key through-line from the Callahan's Crosstime Saloon series by Spider Robinson. It's The Law of Conservation of Pain and Joy. It states simply, "Shared pain is lessened; shared joy, increased—thus do we refute entropy."

And if you're the one struggling? Don't be afraid or ashamed to ask for help. Remember each new day is filled with new potential, new opportunities, new experiences, and new stories ... all just waiting to be shared.

As we speed through the holidays toward the new year, check in with the people you care about. It can be easy to take others for granted and assume everything is fine. So make sure to take a beat and reach out. Remind those around you that they matter, they are valued, and they're not alone.

Keep the story to yourself if you want or share it around, with me or with others. The point is, I learned a long time ago about the power that stories hold. And if I'm a part of any story that somehow made your life better or more interesting in some way, that's all I could ever ask for.

Maybe we had an adventure together, maybe just an exchange. Maybe I said some random bit that made you smile, made you laugh, made you think, just made some sort of difference to you. I want you to think about that and hold onto that thought.
