Goodbye 2017
Woman in the Middle | December 31, 20172017 has been an interesting year. And as the old curse says, “May you live in interesting times.”
Around our house it saw the loss of two beloved pets and the addition of a new rescue cat into our lives. It also saw me start to feed and get way too attached to the feral cat that lives in the neighborhood.
We saw both daughters make big strides forward into adulthood. However hard that is for us as parents to deal with, I am very proud of my girls.
We had some epic vacations. The girls went places on their own and we went as a family to Disney World. Hubby and I had the amazing experiance of seeing the total eclipse with the addition of the adventure of trying to get back to our hotel when it was over.
On the local, state and national political level, things didn’t go quite as I had hoped. I feel like we are, at every level, being ignored while our leaders act like they know everything, we know nothing, and we should all just sit down and shut up while they have fun playing with their power. Sigh. Yes, I have strong feelings about this.
Most of all, this year has gone by amazingly fast. I didn’t get anything done around the house that I had hoped to get done. I spent way too much time in doctor’s offices, which is likely why those home improvement projects didn’t get done. I am determined to see at least some of the projects through in 2018, however.
Finally, I enjoyed writing this blog and hearing from all of you. It is a highlight of my day, week, month and year.
I wish all of you a wonderful 2018. See you next year!!!! In other words, tomorrow!
You could say life was a bit of a roller coaster in 2017. But, like on real roller coasters, I believe in clenching my teeth and getting though it! LOL!
