This year has been a doozy to say the least. It started out innocuously enough, but ended with a bang. I will not be sorry to see it go. Of course it wasn’t all bad. There were some genuinely lovely moments and for that I am eternally grateful. The following is a list of those particular moments.

THE NICE LIST

 

 

And now on to the naughty list. Things that absolutely floored me about 2016. Things that I would rather forget.

THE NAUGHTY LIST

Existence

 

Well that about wraps it up! Thank you to whoever is reading this. Thank you to whoever has read my ramblings in the past and I hope to keep you mildly entertained in the new year. This blog is obviously not going to win any awards nor is it going to launch me into Hemingway status. It’s just fun. I enjoy writing it and I hope you enjoy reading it. My family has gone through a very trying time in recent months with the loss of loved ones and other assorted health scares. So I urge whoever is reading this to enjoy this Christmas as much as they possibly can. Even if it doesn’t seem to be the best you’ve ever had, I guarantee one day you will look back on it fondly. Possibly, for no other reason than you were young. Younger than your future self. And you can’t get that back.

So a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy new year to you and yours! God bless you.

Now leave me alone until January.

XOXO
