“Good morning, Cubers! Happy Veterans Day! Today, for Veterans Day, I’m taking a moment to think about the people in our lives who have served. Maybe it’s someone in your family, a friend, a neighbor, or someone right here in our Cubers community. To those of you who have served, thank you. If there’s a veteran on your mind today, this might be a good day to give them a call or send a simple “I’m thinking of you.” Who’s on your mind this Veterans Day? A. Someone in my family B. A friend or neighbor C. Someone I served alongside D. A veteran I’d like to tell you about Drop a letter, a first name, or a memory below. If you’ve served and feel like sharing, we’d love to hear from you, too.

“The best way out is always through.” — Robert Frost, A Servant to Servants Happy Tuesday, Cubers! Ever walk into a conversation feeling pretty good and walk out needing a snack and eleven minutes of silence? It can be draining when the conversation keeps circling around what’s wrong, what’s missing, or why nothing will work. And sometimes you still have to stay in the room. When you feel yourself getting pulled into the storm, try asking, “What’s one thing we can do with what we have?” Even if you’re the only one asking it, it can give you somewhere to put your attention and a next step to take. And if the conversation is still playing in your head later, try giving it 11 minutes in your journal. What’s mine to handle, and what can I put down for today? What helps you shake off a draining conversation? - A. 🚶 A quick walk and some fresh air - B. 🎶 A favorite song turned up in the car - C. 🤫 A few minutes of quiet - D. 🍪 That snack. Definitely the snack. Drop your letter below. If you’re a C + D, that counts too. 😄
