Goodbye 2016

[DSRIGGS]

It was an eventful year and even though it has been a frustrating year I am not "angry" with 2016. I have so many things in life for which I am thankful. Most of all my beautiful and loving wife Dianna, two boys who I love more than anything in the world, a fantastic brother who is a huge help to me since I can't do much, a great loving Father without whom we wouldn't be able to pay our mortgage and a good chunk of our living expenses. Additionally the support and friendship of so many of you here is a blessing. What 2017 will bring I don't know but I do hope this is a great year that gets better every year for all of us.

Thank you to all of you for your support and friendship as I try to get heslthyy. I am going to try very hard to be positive and finally get healthy this year.

Best wishes to all of you for a great year!

All the best for you and yours, Scott!

Wishing you the best this coming year, Scott.

BTW, our house is now a mixed marriage. I'm a Clemson fan and dh graduated from Alabama. Most of the time we can pull for both teams but not this upcoming game,

A Happy New Year to all! And @DSRIGGS if you can stay positive after all you and your family have been through, there is no excuse for any of us to be negative. So I will follow your example and be grateful for all the good things in my life.

Wishing you the best in 2017 on all fronts, Scott. It is time!

Happy New year Scott. You're so right, no matter how bad things get, there are always things to be grateful for! May this year, these next few months be the turning point for you getting answers to your problems!

Thanks for that kind words Larra. I was in a fairly good mood last night, now today I feel like a whiny little ******** and am hating the world and feeling quite ungrateful. Diarrhea and just feel like hell, and that feeling of "no matter what you do you are never going to get back to normal".

 

[DSRIGGS]

Thanks to you two as well, Pam and Annette. Hope all of you have a great year.

My personal experience tells me that when I'm feeling like crap, I can't be positive. Coming here to beeyoch about it is a blessing. Or at least it is to me. I can talk about things here that I can't talk to others about including close friends and family members.

I'm not going to blow sunshine up your ass, @DSRIGGS or drop fairy dust on you. I'm just going to remind you that I care about you. I've appreciated your wisdom. Even your political rants have been a learning experience. Like Dolly Parton says, if you want rainbows, you got to have rain. Without bad days, how can we appreciate good days?

My dear....trudge on...though you drag your feet trudge on. You're going somewhere. The journey is the interesting part, the worst, the best and the most rewarding. You know you. How many people know themselves?

If you keep being alive and growing then so will I.

I cannot count the ways I am happy to see both Kirmy and Scott posting here - and grateful for my own pot of **** that I allow to make me pouty more often than I wish.

What Diana said. I've missed Kirmy's humorous way to impart her wisdom.

Thanks Honey, I really do appreciate it. That being said, I am a big whiner sometimes.

Thanks sweetheart. You are my hero. You have gone through so much and do it with a wonderful sense of humor and you are as tough as ******* nails. Keep getting better and kicking ass!

Thanks my friend. I do on occasion create some of my own "pot of ****" with dietary choices. I can live with those. I just want some damn energy because I know this sounds strange but there are days when it is too exhausting to just think. I never really had to put any energy into thinking before, but now it is work.
