Welcome back to hashtag Sisters-in-law with Kimberly Atkins Store, Barb McQuaid, Joyce Fance, and me, Jill Wine Banks.

I hope Santa left you some hashtag sisters-in-law goodies under the tree. If not, hoodies and t-shirts are available at

politicon.com slash merch. You can find the link in our show notes and do get the hoodie that Kim

designed herself.

In today's show, we are going to be discussing more developments in the Epstein files,

the court's ruling that the National Guard cannot be deployed in my state,

and some really interesting developments about voting rights.

But before we get to the more heavy-duty stuff, I wanted to look forward to having you tell me what did you really enjoy this year, just truly feel energized by,

that you want to focus on having more of in next year. Kim, I'm going to start with you.

So one thing that I have really been doing on a regular basis in 2025 that I'm really glad

I've done is practicing gratitude daily. It's actually the first thing that I do in the morning

before I pick up my phone or jump up and

start my day is I take a little bit of time and I express gratitude for either a particular

thing in my life or for my health. It's often for my family, you know, both the Atkins family and the store family.

It's often for when I'm feeling good and the fact that my body is strong and can heal itself even after illness.

It's for my sisters.

It's for a lot of things.

And I found that by starting my day grounded in that space, it really helps

give me a better perspective, especially when I and we all have jobs where we deal with a lot of

really tough and depressing and really gut-wrenching issues, being grounded in that gratitude

really helps get me through. So that's definitely a practice I'm

keeping up. That's a beautiful practice. I love that. Barb, what about you? You know, this year,
