I Had a Bad Year On a Lot of Levels

The year overall hasn't been horrible, but the last couple of months have just been HELL to be honest.
Everything seemed fine but little things kept building up until it became too much.  And then the flood walls broke and...

This past year has been filled with troubles:  hospitalization / health issues, financial woes, a car accident, the sudden death of a close friend, the suicide of a loved one, employment uncertainty, problems with the ex / his...

I guess it ads up...
I wish I could take this year and have a re-do.
finances, relationships, employment, friendships....  All seem to suck this year.

But now I am not going to wait for this year 'to be better'. I am not going to sit around waiting for life. I am getting up, setting out, and shaping my own future.

Let's see, 3 different celebrities past away this year (Michael Jackson, Patrick Swayze, and Farrah Fawcett), I had to put my cat out of his misery this past July after being afflicted with sickness affiliated with old age, and I lost...

The year was shit for me - life wrecked by earthquakes, not half as good now.
