Come on 2017!!!!!!

Anybody else ready for 17!? 2016 has been one of the toughest years of my life. My step mother passed away of cancer, we weren't close but its been tough on my dad and therefore tough on me. My dad is awaiting results of his own biopsy to determine whether or not he may have cancer himself. Work has been really tough. Ive suffered a concussion, chronic insomnia, a concussion, a shoulder injury, and injuries from my first car accident. Totalled my two year old Mazda after hitting a deer at 65 miles per hour on my way home from work last week. Some financial strain, and I didnt get that promotion at work. And my golf game has been beyond awful for the last few weeks. Im not usually one to make a big deal out of new years, but I plan to make an exception this year as I for one can not wait for 2017!!!

You're not the only one I've heard say that about 2016. Sounds like you've had to deal with some real crap. I'm sorry to hear about your loss and I hope your Dad ends up being ok.

It's tough to handle when it comes in bunches like that. Reality like that makes golf seem fairly insignificant.

It's always a good thing to look forward to the new year. I too have had some health issues that have interupted my active life style this past year. My hiking has been cut short by several miles. Some projects I wanted to build did not happen. My golf game went into re-start mode after some forced layoffs a few times. 

To all who encountered some rough spots this past year, I hope the new years brings you easier times.  It usually does. 

Of course on the flip side, there surely have been some good times this past year too. Lets not forget those important moments either. I know I had more good things happen than bad in 2016. 

As with anything, all we can do is persevere, and handle things the best we can.
