Good Riddance to 2018!

This has been one of the worst years of my life -- capping off a string of over three years of major life changes. I'm slightly ashamed to admit that '18 was worse than '17 which was the year my mother passed away. This year has seen: the death of two old family friends (within a week of each other!); the death of three of my "cultural icons," two of which were very untimely; several minor health crises; tons of dental work; having to go off my medications because I lost my good health insurance and had to go on a subpar ACA plan; having a severe bout of anxiety disorder; dealing with my cat's health issue; AND, worst of all, loosing a job I've had for over 26 years (the company shut down finally)!

So, here's to a better 2019... hopefully...

I don't want to sound like an optimist after reading about all of the pain that you have endured. But...... It seems like you have nowhere to go but up. At one point in my life I looked to the sky thinking that life shouldn't always be this miserable. The weight eventually lifted, feel back down, and lifted again. Push hard when you get that break in your life. It happens when you least expect it so be ready. Happy New Year 🤗!!!
