And, to those who celebrate Rosh Hashonah, Le Shana Tova or Happy New Year. Although the past year for me was a challenge recovering from a serious accident, and facing ongoing physical therapy, losing my father and losing a close friend to suicide, I've been able to move forward from survive to thrive. Thanks to those who have made it happen.
Best,
Mark
