I know a lot of people consider 2016 to be the worst year ever, so I guess we were a few of the lucky ones. Which is not to say that life didn’t present us a roller coaster of ups and downs. On the other side of friends passing away, a crazy election and major life decisions, there was snowboarding, family time, and exploring lots of new places. I keep waiting to have that ONE golden year where everything works out in my favor and everything goes as planned, but I’ve come to realize that will never be the case. Good and bad coexist on opposite ends of a scale and when the good outweighs the bad, I consider that a victory. For all its struggles and challenges, we still had our health, our kitties, and each other. We saw more of the world and crossed off so many things off our life list. Looking back at all that has happened over the course of the year gives new perspective. The scales thankfully tipped in our favor. 2016 was a win.
