I would also like to point out that those experiencing cause-fatigue given
all the end-of-year pleas from charities, or those spent-out from the

wait and see what the results are!
Good luck, Scott! Excited to see what your year brings!

All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the
old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.
