Last season was a not-so-gentle reminder that being a Sox fan can be brutal. At the same time, as we head into 2023, I need to put the beast behind me and take a cue from the players. None of them want to talk about last year. They want to move forward with a renewed perspective and energy, and I have discovered I need that, too.
I am a glass-half-empty person, so it’s often extremely challenging for me to focus on the positives and potential in any given situation. Nonetheless, as this Generation Xer has gotten older, carrying the burden of negative energy has become somewhat exhausting.
