There were a couple bright spots in 2015 for me - I paid off my mortgage in March, and I had a grand time in the PNW in May celebrating my BF's birthday/graduation. But most of this year has passed by in a dim, sad blur of depression and loss. There's five weeks of forced cheerfulness to get through, and then 2015 will vanish in a bang of fireworks over the Thames. 2016 has got to be better. Another year like this one, I can't deal.
Note to self: religion freaky.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2015: Goodnight moon
Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Thanksgivukkahmas, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering.
Go away, 2015.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Wishing us all whatever strength is needed to get through the holiday season.

Thanks, Suzi. It was one of my most important goals, financially and emotionally, to have a home of my own.

This thread title makes me tear up. It's perfect.
Thoughts about my year later when I'm not buried under deadlines.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh, fuck.
I had some good times this year, but it's been tainted by loss, and by my father's decline, and my own health issues. But I did finally land a permanent job, and I got a new dog, and a kitchen. And I started singing with a community chorus. I can't do the math on all that, though.

I received a box of goodies from Greater Good today! Chocolate covered expresso beans, Brownie mix, a chocolate bar, and a ring. So cool and so nice on a day when I can't breath due to this darned cold. I'm assuming this is from my Santa. Thank you muchly!!! I will wait until I can actually taste things again before I taste the noms.
