Title: How Did 2016 Turn Out for You?
Post by: Cbsteffen on December 27, 2016, 05:38:59 pm
I think 2016 has been a rather horrible year for me. I kept hearing about deaths, and I thought too hard and tightened so many muscles that I fainted too much.

Oh my gosh! If it's any consolation, 2016 wasn't great for me, either. I had to learn to walk again at the start of the year after near fatal internal bleeding in my legs (now am badly scarred--looks like permanent bruising--and have sensitivity and soreness in them). There was a LOT of disturbance at my house, I never fought through my anxiety, depression, and physical issues to find work outside of the home, and I'm very worried about my alcoholic mother. So... I don't know if I should even bother having any expectations for the new year, haha.

We had some health problems in the family, but that's over and all is well. And we also had a death in family.  It always amazes me that no matter what battles we fight, what challenges we have to meet, what hills we have to climb, human beings are resilient. We recover, we bounce back, we keep moving forward.  I admire that.

2016 was actually a pretty good year for me. I accomplished some things I never thought I would. Here's to 2017 being just as good or better.

It turned out extremely enjoyable. Can't complain and I have no regrets. I am grateful for my wife and boys. My family is what kept things smooth. There were some few bumpy roads along the journey but in all a great year!

2016 wasn't a good year. My mom in law passed away. My co-worker's mom passed away. Sometimes work was a lot more stressful than before. Looking forward to a better year in 2017.

My 2016 started off pretty good. In March, I was interviewed for my job, and got hired in April. I moved from New Jersey to Massachusetts to live with my boyfriend, and began a new chapter in my life. The summer months were decent, and Fall wasn't bad either. But right now, boy, I don't even think there are enough words in the dictionary to describe how I feel. The last couple of weeks have been hell for me. Trying to figure out my future, whether or not to go back to school, then getting accepted and having to struggle with taking out student loans. Then my boyfriend almost got laid off, and even though he didn't, he constantly complains about his job. We've been arguing a lot, mainly because I feel as though he doesn't understand me and won't defend me. I don't know what 2017 holds, but I sure hope it gets better than what the end of 2016 is giving me.  :'(

2016 was very positive.
Lots of challenges, but in the end I made it through alive & ready to live another day :)

Hope we all have a Happy New Year with peace & prosperity & good health!

Despite the hard times, I am grateful for each day.  I look forward to what 2017 will bring.  I pray that each of you have a better 2017 than 2016.

I can honestly say that I had a good 2016. I got a part-time job, with a great, understanding boss who held my job for me when I had to take time off, I was able to buy a newer, reliable vehicle, take vacations to see family, finish my online class and in the process of getting a better, full time time.

I can't wait to see what 2017 holds.

I too had a good 2016.  A move and a new contract agreement at work... Taking big strides in my own "in-home" bakery as well.  One kid moved out... began her college career.  Another started his first job.  And my youngest has grown into a better student and avid reader.  2016 has been a blessing this year.  Here's to 2017!

This hasn't been a stellar year with a lot more obstacles and hardships than usual. I'm not complaining too much since I've had worse years than this. Here's hoping 2017 is much better.

No, this is the worst year ever. With all my childhood icons dropping dead in front of me, I feel the shadows of my mortality stocking me & hear the heavy chains the grim ripper's dragging around ready for my demise waiting for my soul to rise which is the ripper's prize! Each time my childhood icons die away, I feel the me that came to be, slowly vanishing as if I was never meant to be.

I'm seeing more and more how awful 2016 was for everyone, and I feel terrible about it.  :( I don't know why so many people had such a bad experience. Through thinking about my own, I have come to try to find the good... I gained much needed weight and started taking a little better care of myself, which has made me feel much better physically; I had the unbelievable privilege of seeing one of my favorite musical artists in concert; I walked in a Halloween parade through the downtown area, which was the most fun I'd had in a while; I was blessed to make much more money than I had the previous year with my shop and my survey sites; I finally dyed my hair a crazy color which I'd been wanting to do for almost two years (blue!); and we adopted the silliest, sweetest, most mischievous kitten ever. Find the good, guys, any little bit that there is, and may all of next year treat us all much better than 2016 did!!!  :thumbsup: :)

Sorry to hear about your stress - I know what you mean but as for myself - I have a roof over my head, plenty to eat and am always able to pay my bills.  The only thing I have to fight is stress over my health problems but I just try to remember that I am still alive and my personal opinion is I won't go anywhere until God is ready and I hope he waits a l-o-n-g time.  Take care all of you.

2016 was great!! Good health, sanity in check, children well and supporting themselves! God is the provider of everything even the things we take for granted.

2016 started out really rich, but it ended on a positive note and I'm very hopeful for a good 2017. Thanks for asking.

just another boring year.   nothing changed from 2015,,,, so 2016 was just another year.   good thing is I'm still alive and kicking,,,,  my  family is still here  and still alive and kicking.  So I guess that is good.

It was the best year I've had in awhile.  I got a great raise at work, a dog I was dog-sitting for (owner died) became part of my family, and for Christmas I was given a cat that the owner was thinking about euthanizing (she's only 6, has severe allergies) so I'm happy to be getting the chance to try and get her better...and EXCITED about the new President!!! (I had said years ago, he's be a fantastic President!)

Our year wasn't very good. Funny thing but "even" years (those ending in an even number 2,4,6,8,10.12.14.16, etc.) are never good years for us. Odd years are okay but we haven't really had a good year since 2005, but deal with it.

I hope we can survive 2017. :) I am still looking for a job that I can do at home due to my disability or an outside job sitting most of the day, but I don't have much hope.
