If you will so kindly indulge my anthropomorphism, I have composed an open letter to 2016
Dear 2016,
Has it really been 365 days already? Goodness, where has the time gone? It seems like just yesterday we were all enthusiastically jotting down all of our well-meaning new year’s resolutions.
Oh my, I almost have to chuckle as I ponder on all the year-old exercise equipment gathering dust in our basements, all the gym memberships that we are still paying for and not using, and how our ironclad resolve to eat nothing but veggies and lean protein has somehow morphed into another year of burgers and fries.
But truthfully, if that is the worst of it, the year was not so bad. Sadly, though, I have to admit that a lot of us have much more than fitness and diet failings to look back on. There have been a lot of heartaches, for starters. How did we end up with so many unexpected funerals this year? How did we end up with so many homes falling apart?
