@Mrfunkedude Great post, and Happy New Year to you too.
I'd add... forgive yourself. I've been hung up for years on something that happened a _long_ time ago. Recently saw one of those inspirational posters that said simply "Move on. It was a lesson, not a life sentence." I felt like the door to a more positive future had been unlocked.
this goes out to everyone whose accomplishments this year aren't visible. the ones who prioritised rest over the rat race, who rebuilt themselves, ground up, cell by cell.
those who caressed their scars & found the space to heal. the ones who found reasons to smile in a world that makes you scream. those who danced again, sang again, found a moment of grace. if you felt joy in being able to pause, in being able to breathe—
you lived this year, too. and how beautiful it is that you did. 💚
Sunset from Monday over the big lake. Vertical shot. If you haven't changed your image settings, you'll need to smash it to see the entire image.
One of the best sunsets of the year!

A huge THANK YOU to everyone who helped us raise more than $1 million for childhood cancer research at Dana-Farber this year! We raised $33,000 for the Infant Brain Tumor Program in the last week.
You can still donate before midnight for your '22 taxes.
With more than $600,000 raised, Team Beans 2022 Boston Marathon team became the #1 highest fundraising team across all internal Jimmy Fund events in *history* this year.

Two years ago we lost Francesca to brain cancer.
She loved balloons, Elmo, and smiling at all the doctors and nurses she met. Her short life and death changed me forever and taught me a love I will never forget. I think about her everyday and we miss her tremendously.
Please consider honoring her with a donation Dana-Farber in her memory through the Team Beans Fund which supports the Infant Brain Tumor Program.

Back to work tomorrow... oh well. It was nice to have a break. Wishing you peace and health in the new year!

All we are saying is...
This is going under the radar, but looks like the CDC guidelines for masking are switching back to COVID-19 Community *TRANSMISSION* levels instead of "Community levels."
That means the CDC now recommends universal masking for **71%** of counties in the US, instead of only 9%.
