It’s been a… stressful year.
The biggest stress was the whole most-of-the-year-unemployed thing. Which would have sufficed, but there were enough other blood pressure pumped during the year — not even counting US political madness — to challenge my hypertension medication mightily.
On the other had, there was a lot of positive in 2017. Life with my loving wife. A kid who gets niftier with every passing year. Some satisfying writing in November (and elsewhen). One of the most enjoyable RPG campaigns I’ve played in perhaps ever. Teeing things up for a remarkable 2018.
And that year has so many possibilities. A couple of incredible trips. A new chapter with the kid heading to college. My mom moving to Colorado. And, one trusts, a new job.
Past realities. Impending possibilities. With friends and family to make it all worthwhile. I look forward to it.

Onward and upward.
Very much the same. Spent almost the entire year off-work and sick, and trying to manage my many responsibilities, to say nothing of my medications likewise being challenged (and, as-yet, still unresolved).
I try to remember that even the mountain is worn away by the river – both to manage the erosive effect of illness, and also to keep working away at whatever ails me, no matter how great or small.
Onward & upward …
