Thank You (2025 Edition)
Hey Friends,
I greatly appreciate your continued readership.
It means a lot that you keep reading, clicking, sharing, and posting my content. Thank you!
Over the last year, I have written over 115,000 words across my three newsletters, the equivalent of writing a 400-page book. That’s a lot of words!
I want to thank all of the people who have replied, praised, objected, complained, and argued with me. Your feedback and comments help make this newsletter better. Please keep it up.
I am grateful for the editorial support of friends and family who ensure I keep those Oxford commas coming. You know who you are.
Special thanks to my sponsors this year. Your support makes it possible to produce this newsletter each week.
And a very special thanks to the fine folks at Cars.ca, who have sponsored The Change Optimist newsletter over the last several months. Thank you, friends!
You can expect to receive my regular commentary and informational email next Sunday.
Like last year, I am enjoying some downtime with my family and my goldendoodle, Gurdy. I suggest you do the same today (you might have to find your own goldendoodle; this one is mine).
Cheers,
-Growdy (and Gurdy)
