The thing that got me through this year was the support and friendship of my family, friends and cyberfriends: human, animal or stuffed. The love shown through telephone calls, post cards, emails, visits and on occasion just an arm around my shoulder or an invitation to go walking did the world of good to me. All your thoughts and prayers were very much appreciated.
I had set out some goals at the beginning of the year. I think I met about three or four of those goals. I don´t mind it´s not more than that. The main ones have been met (the pain and meeting up with friends and family) and although it would have been nice to go sky-diving, if the choice would be between that and meeting up with family or friends, I would choose the latter every time!
2015 was not my year. But I will do my best to make 2016 the best year ever. And with your help and support and friendship, I think I might be able to pull it off!! So, let´s say goodbye to 2015 and HELLO to 2016.
The photo was taken by a friend who took me on a walk to a beautiful spot back in the summer, just to take my mind of things.
MARA WHAT A HEARTFELT POST...SOMETIMES LIFE IS JUST ONE TRIAL AND TRIBULATION AFTER ANOTHER. BLESS YOUR HEART FOR STANDING STRONG THROUGH IT ALL MOST OF ALL HUGS TO YOUR LOVING FRIENDS AND FAMILY. I AM GLAD YOU HAD YOUR BLOG TO HELP KEEP YOUR MIND IN A FUN AND CRAZY PLACE.

ReplyDeleteThat is a brilliant 'last post' of the year Mara - leave it all behind, look forward. Attagal!!! &*> Have a safe and peaceful evening; given the weather here, I'll be burrowing into bed early with the yamroid and watching some BBC iplayer!!! Huggies, YAM xx
My evening wasn't so peaceful, nor did I feel particularly safe either! I would have much preferred to go to bed early, but unfortunately I had to work!

Deleteoh dear me... no, I imagine that would have been... shall we say 'interesting'?!! I managed the iplayer of Dickensian right up to 11.30, then switched on BBC alba for the ceilidh and 'the bells'... then there were some fabby fireworks shows all around the shores of the Clyde!!! Yx
Good for you Mara.
ReplyDeleteDearest Mara, I wish you all the best in 2016, and my thoughts and prayers were with you often, especially when you were going through your surgery.
