2016 Hindsight

So here we are only hours from the swearing in of one Donald D
Trump as out new President of these United States of America.
Thus,  all the campaigns are finished and the country can move forward. In a nutshell that's what transpired in 2016 nationally.

However,  this blog entry is about yours truly. So,  let's take a brief look back at 2016 from my view;

The year started out just fine with visions and goals. Some of those goals I've shared before; you know the one entry about not being able to do this or that.
Yes,  while others were having a grand OK time going to the beach,  watching the fireworks, shopping for new cloths,  going out on a photo shoot I was stuck at home. Yea,  my friends took me grocery shopping and or to church there was times I wanted to excape.
Oh yes I did! Example I wanted to attend a Newsboys concert or some other Christian concert. Problem was I had no car to get me from here to there and so forth. In fact I've been housebound since April 5th 2016. And its just not that but picture yourself missing out on many activities I enjoy.

While I'm glad I have a roof over my house one still likes to engage in hobbies,  sporting events and such to unwind,  right?

Oh,  in case you did not know my 2007 Dodge Caliber blew a drivers side ball joint. Once fixed it was learned that certain parts were rusted out because Dodge forgot to put rustproofing on the parts.Now you would think that Dodge would correct the problem without charge right? Well its not the case. After several phone call Dodge said there would be no problem and would do repairs under warranty. So we got the car towed to a local Dodge dealership only to find out that its going to cost some $2000,  ouch right?

So here I am nearly 2am writing this summery of which you may have found boring. Well,  that's kind of what 2016 was like for me. A year of valleys,  hills and even more valleys (actually they felt more like Grand Canyon experiences.) But this I know the sun will come our and there will be better days. There has to be better days.

So how can I remain so positive? It comes via experience. Even people in the Bible had good and bad days. But they were able to rise above their troubles due to their faith in God. And as my faith grows I too can see a better tomorrow just over the horizon. A tomorrow filled with the love and peace of God that surpasssss all understanding.

Farewell 2016
