Sorry for your loss, Joe. For me, 2017 was filled with changes, both professionally and personally. It was filled with highs and lows, setbacks and growth. There was lots of pain, heartbreak, and disappointment, but sprinkled with joy, excitement, and fun throughout. I'm grateful for the moments I got to spend with friends and family, seeing my cousin's baby go from being a preemie (and being in an incubator) to becoming a healthy, happy little baby, and the lessons learned throughout. Cheers to a better and brighter 2018! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 A lot of my friends live in the US so I'll remember 2017 as a year of great political and social turmoil. On a personal level it kind of flew by and nothing particularly remarkable happened, there were good times but it still feels like I've been stuck in limbo the last few years. Hoping 2018 is a year I can make changes and take steps that I'm proud of. I've no resolutions but I wanna try harder to be happy/work towards being happy this year.

Dr. Crossbar Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 My mother's health went off a cliff in 2017. I didn't even know she was ill. She kept it from me. One day she called me and said she's ready to move to Vancouver. I was so excited to have her near me during the last chapter of her life. In a two week period of her saying that, I had to fly back east and take her to the hospital. She spent three weeks in there before I took her home. It's now been four months on the east coast and I'm waiting to get her into a nursing home. It'll happen soon. My advice to anyone in 2018, talk about the future with your parents, plan ahead as much as possible. Get stuff in place before it's too late. The only thing that has made this easy is that my mother planned and prepared for this day. I just had to come here, sign documents, and do the right thing. The worst part in coming back to the east coast ... Canucks games are on at 11pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By this I mean I shot an unsuspecting animal and paid for internet porn with my own credit card. Jokes aside, I do mean it when I say this is the year I “became a man”. Finding intrinsic motivation in myself in all my pursuits, taking accountability for my successes and (more importantly) my failures, being a good friend/family member to those I love and those who just simply needed it, volunteered oodles of free time to the community, and stopped giving a rat’s arse about the things I can’t control. I wouldn’t say 2017 was a particularly special year in any one regard but it was a big year for me, if that makes sense. And to boot, found the love of my life in the form of a 190 pound sh*t for brains mutt in need of a good home. All the best to my fellow CDC’ers in 2018 and congrats on another year in the books. Stay safe tonight (@Twilight Sparkle) and I’ll see y’all on the other side (2018). Happy for you; man.....way to be strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steve72 Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 2017 was fairly monumental for me. Turned 30, started a new career, lost my father to heart disease and got engaged to my partner of 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Unfortunately, I'll remember 2017 for negative reasons....we lost one of the great songwriters of our time in Tom Petty....a scumbag decided to shoot up a country music festival....and we endured the worst summer for wildfires in our history. 2018 can't help but improve...

Rob_Zepp Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 The year that a large faction of society came out as "perpetually offended". I have not been alive for the length of humanity's existence but having a hard time not thinking that 2017 reached a new low in personal accountability across our planet.
