How Was Your Year And What Are Your Dreams For Next Year???

[chickenman]

The holidays are upon us once again. Another year come and gone.
Lot's of up's and downs for sure. Rode it out....
lost a lots of dear friends....
But over all what a great year...Still married, wife has not lost her mind, farm is doing well despite barely breaking even lot's of work for little if any profit, but we are paid for our labor in incredible nutrition and one cannot put a price on the lifestyle we have adopted..
So happy and blessed to have had no major heath issues for wife and I.
Lots of friends are struggling with this and that.
The whole world seems to be in turmoil. Will drive one crazy, bring on worry.
I just try to live day to day and be happy.
I am lucky to be alive and in remission from my drinking disease.
Sweet surrender, I will never beat it, so just surrender do not take the sip and life is beyond amazing....
I really believe for some reason I survived for a reason, maybe to help others who reach out, finding what was really in my heart it is my light and shining that light for others to see.
Looking forward to the big 60, will be in New Zealand on a dream get away we have dreamed about for many years, the wife and I..
2 more years and I will retire, cut way back on farm sales, enjoy time with wife, keep on farming, feasting and fishing...
Hope you all reflect on last years good and not so good times and have a wonderful New Year with lots of ups to make the downs tolerable..
Live it up You All!!! Life is a journey
Chickenman....

My year has gone so badly I don't want to get into it. I just need this shit to END.

So sorry to hear...
Things must have gone down hill since our meet up..
Give PGD a big hug, he is your man and will get you through..
This will soon pass...
Sending love...

Know the feeling I've lost 7 friends this year alone. 4 cats and my best dog. It's hell getting older.

Next year...... well 14th January I start my radiation treatment. Fingers crossed it works for me. I just hope I don't kill my plants as I will be radioactive for 6 days following each treatment. Does anyone know if this will affect my plants?
So I'm hoping next year will be much better than this year for me.

Not a good year by any means for me. My 14 1/2 year old dog passed away on Thanksgiving Eve. At 68 years old, everything`s going up, except my pension. Never thought that I`d be this broke at this age, was better off money-wise in my 20`s then my 60`s. Just crying in my beer.

I'm really trying to be positive these days.
I had a pretty dark moment for a while in the beginning of the year.
Thanks to having a wonderful girlfriend she was able to bring me back to being somewhat myself again.
We're having a baby together and she is due in March. Between the both of us this will be number 6. Lol.
Things in life have improved over the last few years.
My kids are healthy, doing great and are loved.
Hope everyone has a better year than the last.

Big hugs for everyone, but if we're hugging @kbellfoy we're gonna need our lead aprons. Just kidding! I think the plants will be fine. Got a Geiger counter? I'd be kinda curious to know how much radiation you'll be giving off, myself.

Do you have someone to help you after you've received the radiation "therapy?" I do hope so.

all they have told me is I'm to be isolated from everyone even my pets for 6 days then another 27 days away from children and pregnant women each time I have it. I even have to travel home alone in a back seat so no hugs for me. My son wants to get a bloody geiger and measure my output lol.
I'm just so looking forward to next year and being healthier hopefully.
I will send hugs back now while I can lol

 

[Seamaiden]

Virtual hugs it is, wow! I think I like your son. My father was a radiologist, so I was brought up with some pretty sick jokes. I hear you on the healthier.
