has A/anyone else out there had one of the worse years ever?
my friends and family have experienced divorce (the youngest marriage was 8 years) death, mental illness and financial ruin, just to mention some of it.
i, myself got pneumonia in january, was in a bad car wreck in febuary and went to the hospital in april with pneumonia AGAIN. i have had to evict my only child ( 18 but resisting leaving the nest) accrued a electric bill of over $1000 (which i managed to get paid by the skin of my teeth) was told i would graduate (with hoonors)  in december of this year from college, then at the beginning of the semester found out they had given me the wrong classes one semester and now i have to do another one before i can graduate. (grrrrrr)
i can not be isolated in this.
surely there are others out there who find this to be the worse year to date.

Most of those I thought were friends, or at least friendly acquaintances, turned their backs on me.

I have suffered unimaginable losses that I still grieve. 

I have lost not one but two jobs.

I am in pretty much continuous emotional pain. 

But, I am much too stubborn to let this defeat me.  If you let them defeat you, they win, and I can't have that:)

I awaken daily to kitty kisses.

I know who my friends really are, and who they are not.

I can and will get another job of some sort.

Living well is the best revenge.

Status: offline 		No, that was last year. 5 deaths in my family including my father, a friend died, I had surgery for a cancer scare, a divorce, a foreclosure because of the divorce, a job layoff, lost my faith, lost all my finances, lost everything I owned (including all childhood and family photos and heirlooms) when ex husband gutted the house, had an emotional break down and didn't stop sobbing for about 5 days.

And at the same time it was the best year, ever. It was the year i discovered family and friendship and the abundance of love out there that rushes to hold you up when you can not stand. Cliche as it sounds, it's in the worst of times when you are given the opportunity to see all that is possible.

I hope it gets better for you, truly.

I know I have! lol  With all that is going on, many of us might be in for another rough year, but we have to keep on fighting it all and standing our ground even when it is threatening to clog our nose.  I know the end of this year has turned around for me in ways I could never have imagined and amazing things are happening!  I will hope that the frustrations you all have known this year will turn around and you can see the great things that came of it all and a light at the end of that dark and rocky road!

Status: offline 		Yeah. I won't be sorry to see this year pass... I lost my Dad, my Mother's been in and out of the hospital. I've had to replace my car, my lawn mower my oven and my water heater...  The stress has been increasing, and it's really screwing with my primary relationship.

On the other hand, I've met a really great bunch of people thanks to the pro-Obama events, there's a Domme possibly in my future, (we're talking) and the stress has also kicked my creative drives up several notches. The anti-gay adoption measure here in Arkansas that I've been working against looks like it's gong to go down in flames, and possibly stay down. :)  And we all get to witness the historic election of the first black man to the White House... a real move forward in the US's evolution! Hooray! Maybe we really ARE living in the 21st century!

Still, I'll be glad when things settle down a bit.

next-  drink a ton of water.   this will allow you to lower the heat.   pick up an extra blanker as well.  I had my heat guy build a damper on my duct- so I dont heat all the house.    proper hydration will allow the body to reg its temp.

on school- make a plan,

on the son, I am sorry.  I hope it gets better for you.

Oh sure, there's stuff that sucks like my never ending battle with the IRS, rising prices on almost everything and no increase in pay. But, overall, life is good. I've got some amazing people in my life, a comfortable home I am happy to go to at the end of the day, and adorable furry babies that are always happy to see me when I get there.

But yeah, most of all, fantastic people that I love and some manage to love me in return.

Status: offline 		Yeah, I had a year like that a few years back.  My grandmother died, mom's health worsened and we thought she was going to die, my alcoholic husband left unexpectedly with no notice (okay, abandoned me) for the tramp he'd had in another state for at least a year, we got divorced, I had to sell the house, which was a couple of hours from going into foreclosure, find a new place to live, had to quit the job I'd been at for six years to find one that paid better, my firstborn graduated high school and left home for college in another state, and then they diagnosed my father with cancer and he died four months later.  You could have burned the house down around me and I wouldn't have noticed, lol.

But time passes and you make it through.  It makes you stronger, and it makes you appreciate when life is good, which it is   

LOL...exactly...I carked it!

Status: offline 		well, financially everyone's had a crappy year it seems.  mine has been thrown for a loop with the two surgeries last year and the three this year, 8 hospital stays of various lengths from only a day or two to the six weeks i just spent in a nursing home.  i will be happy to start the new year because i really want this one to stop kicking me in the teeth every chance it gets, lol.

They are, of course, giving you that class for free, right?

Life is a roller coaster. You have good years and you have bad years. This isn’t the worst year I’ve ever had but I would have to give this year a thumbs down. This year had a health scare with one close relative, another’s boyfriend turn out to be verbally abusive (the family "ganged up" on him and scared him away before it got to the physical part) and the economy is definitely hurting our business. The near future is looking troublesome but I do find reassurance in that I am part of a close knit family that sticks together and looks out for each other.
