Happy New Year

Happy new year to all, hope 2017 was a good one and that 2018 will be better. I can say that this year has been a crazy one for us, for a number of reasons that I won't go into. There have been a lot of positives and some negatives, with some important milestones, lots of hard work, kids (and parents) getting older, and some significant changes on the horizon. I feel like the season seemed to come out of nowhere, especially Christmas and now the New Year, mainly because of so many events on the personal front. Throw in these crazy frigid temperatures and it has been interesting, to say the least.

In years past we headed up to Quebec City for New Year's Eve, but due to extenuating circumstances, we won't be making the trip this year. One of the extenuating circumstances was dad refusing to make the drive, it's just too brutal, but that's a minor one. Suffice it to say that it's going to be a quiet New Year's Eve in this household.

Whatever be the case, while I'm not one to make a big issue out of it (it's just another day, after all), I do hope things work out on your end. So Happy New Year and rather than hope it will be a good one, why not just make it so?
