2017 BANNER YEAR
Dec. 21st, 2017 05:36 pmHere are some good things that happened to me this year. I mean, the overwhelming crushing sensation that has hung over my head since Nov' 2016 deserves a shout out, as well as the development of a diagnosable anxiety disorder. But, 2017 was a great year in the microcosm of my life.
1) My kiddo got out of DHS and the court system and I got guardianship
2) We had a nice family vacation
3) Someone bought me a brand new car as a gift. And I got to pick it out.
4) I got a new job, and it is both part time and with benefits. And I like going so much I'd probably volunteer. (It's at a library and I'm basically a community helper. It's great. This week I entertained a dozen bored children who were dumped at the library by their working parents, I found a home for a stray that was dumped at the library, I listened to someone tell me about their childhood in Nazi Germany while drinking tea, I helped a man fill out an application for housing assistance, I found a woman a job by word-of-mouth, I collected 50+ coats for the coat drive, I made flyers for the food bank, and on and on. It's great. I like helping. A lot.)
5) I did some impressive home remodeling projects with some small skill.
6) We got a new dog, who is an angel in disguise (or maybe not in disguise, because how much more angelic can you get than a dog?)
7) My environs are safe and beautiful
8) Myself, family, and friends are all mostly healthy and mostly happy. I think.
