Wishing you all, and especially HH, a very Happy New Year ! HH, I feel sure 2019 will be a better year for you. You have had to cope with so much, and are fighting through with determination. All you need is just a smidgen of the luck wished by cbc, and I feel your goals can start coming within reach.
HAPPY NEW YEAR

Even if you don't manage to achieve them all in the same year you'll probably have made inroads into them all which will make life easier going forward. I wish you the very best of luck with them all as luck is the only element that's missing. Determination and the ability to work hard you already have in spades:A

Wishing you HH and your band of followers a happy New Year filled with peace and prosperity. Having lost my dear Father and a cat that was part of my little family this year I hope for better times ahead. Right now I’m tucked up in bed with my “sleepy tea” wishing for a new day. DH is watching some film or other and we are content.
HH - thank you for sharing your life - it makes me put my own life into prospective x
