2018? Are We Here, Yet?

So, here we are. 2018 is about to arrive...... 

Most of the time, I'd be saying that this year went fast...but this year has been a special one. When I say "special", it's "special" in the fact that with all that has gone on - globally, nationally and locally - it seems like we should be entering year 2025 at least. (Reply  with an amen if you agree!) Needless to say, It's been a LONG year. 

But, I'm optimistic for this new year. Sure, I say that about every year - but, why not? You can give me all the reasons in the world, but life is simply too short to live WITHOUT hope. We need to have a reason to get up in the morning....and often times hope is the very thing that gets us through the year, one morning, one cup of coffee at a time (coffee definitely helps me..). 

Anyways, I hope you all have had a great holiday and even more so, start off this new year with a boom! A few updates from me:
