2017 was a year of pain, surgery, healing, doctors, drugs, along with various other maladies and challenges that kept me unwell for more than seven months.
I thought I’d be going into 2018 strong and relatively healthy, but 2017 got the last laugh. Here it is, the final day of the year, and I am sick again, this time with an intestinal bug. So much fun!
And so my prediction in Getting a Head Start on New Years Resolutions came true. Before I even started the year, my resolutions have gone by the wayside. That list has now been downgraded to a “to do list.” (Which, to be honest, was all those resolutions were in the first place.)
Despite that, with this post, as unpleasant as it might be, I have fulfilled my fifty-day blog challenge.
Wishing us all a healthy 2018 and challenges that are as pleasant to fulfill as this challenge was.

Feel better, Pat. I hope 2018 treats us all better than 2017 did.

So ironic that you just wished me good health in the new year! Take care and get well; next year HAS to be better than this one.
