December 30, 2021 No. 65 Instead of making resolutions, each New Year's Eve, I pick a word for the coming year to reflect my intention. One year, it was "delight"; another, it was "thrive." This year, my word will be "rise." What's your word for 2022? Happy fresh start, friends! — Thao 
New year energy is our biggest seasonal reboot and I, for one, love to ride the surge of motivation it brings. From starting a nightly yoga habit to vowing to resume my morning walks, I’ve picked up many new resolutionary habits, even if I know most of them will fade by the time January melts into spring.

The Very Best of 2021 
Dear Cubby Fans (and those of you who like to trip down to the bottom of the email each week and read this column),
It has been an amazing year of growth here at Cubby. While we're technically a year and a half old at this point, time has gone quickly and it only feels like now, at these holidays, that I can look back and take stock of how much Cubby has grown. From a standing start with a weekly email and no subscribers, we're now reaching nearly 200,000 readers a month on our website and pacing to hit 100,000 subscribers by the end of this school year. Maxwell Ryan is a father and was an elementary school teacher in NYC before founding Apartment Therapy. He'd love to answer your question: askmaxwell@cubbyathome.com
