Goodbye and Good Riddance 2016

We're finally ushering 2016 out the door.  I wish we could punch 2016 in the nose, throw all of its stuff out on the lawn, cuss this year out, tell it to lose our number, and slam the door in its face we would.  From a personal perspective, 2016 has simply sucked.  The year started out with a case of shingles and it never got better.  We got rid of our SUV due to mechanical issues.  Then this summer, our beloved dog died suddenly at the age of 10.  As if having your truck and your dog die in the same year weren't bad enough, there has been one worrisome event after another to keep us off balance and stressed all year long.  Even now, we are planning to move to a new apartment due to drug fumes from an unknown neighbor.  In the public sphere, the world seems to be in perpetual crisis and this year has claimed the lives of far too many celebrities.  The list is long this year and includes icons from Prince to Prince Leia:  all of whom really meant something to society and my generation.  While I know that pain, loss, and setbacks are part of life and many have had it worse.  I think most of us can agree on one thing.  It's definitely time to turn the page on 2016 and move forward!

GOOD BYE 2016!  DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS!

I wish everyone a happy, healthy, and prosperous New Year!

  1. I think a watch is the precious gift on new year. It will always let the person realise the value of time you gave to them in whole past year.
