It’s been a long year. You’re beaten and worn. You’re tired. You’re jaded. And I didn’t really want to say anything, but if we’re being honest, you’ve been pretty cranky.

But if you look forward, finally, there’s a little bit of light at the end of all this darkness. It’s the size of a pinhole, but you can see it up ahead. You’re marching toward it, and with every step, it gets larger and brighter. Wow. What a glow.

Do you even remember what optimism feels like?

You’re about to.
