What have you done during the past year that has made you feel proud or happy?

I finally got a job that I like with good pay, though it's seasonal and there will be a break of a couple of months later this year (during which I'll be able to collect unemployment, unless I get another job), and I made a few new friends. So I guess 2018 wasn't all bad.

How was 2018 for you? Here's hoping next year will be better for all of us.

Frankly, I haven't done one damned thing that's made me feel proud or happy. I'm just surviving, which, I guess, is something.

@PhoenixPhail That is definitely something. It means that you're still here and you can still do something, when you're able to and the time is right. I hope the coming year brings more good opportunities, for us both.

@TeresaRudolph71 Thank you for your kind words, Teresa. That I'm still here is more discouraging to me than hopeful. It's doubtful the results of the dental malpractice I've received will heal satisfactorily, despite all the procedures and therapies I'm using. Among my physical injuries, that one is, by far, the hardest one to deal with. I truly need a miracle healing. Nothing else will do. I don't know how I came to choose this fate, but it hasn't left me with the kind of life I think I can live with. Even luck of the draw doesn't choose failure this many times with one person.

@PhoenixPhail Oh gosh, that doesn't sound like something that anyone would choose. I'm sorry to hear that that happened to you. I hope that your injuries will heal eventually. If it takes a miracle, then that is what we need to ask for.

@TeresaRudolph71 Thanks, love. I'm totally open to accepting a miracle.
