And so another year comes to a close.
Whew!
Where has the time gone?
Oh, wait.
I know.
As my oldest child would say…
Down the toilet.
Yeah.
Sounds about right.
Like any other year, there have been ups and downs.
But with any luck, the highs have more than balanced out the lows.
That seems to be the key to maintaining one’s sanity.
More or less.
But sanity is overrated.
So if 2017 wasn’t your personal best, fret not.
2018 is waiting right around the corner with the promise of a brighter year.
Let’s usher in the upcoming year with a bit of humorous inspiration from Mark Twain, shall we?
“New Year’s Day: Now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.”
Ah, yes.
Sounds like a mighty fine plan, indeed!
~Quirky Girl and The Bigly Bestest Doggie would like to take this opportunity to wish all our wonderful friends a bright, fantastic, and prosperous 2018! Let’s make it amazing!~
“Like any other year, there have been ups and downs.

Easy for you to say, living north of the border…

Happy New Year! I have never understood why we make such a big deal about the year changing. Imagine if we treated the changing of the months like this…. New Month’s Eve twelve times a year!

You are absolutely correct; adding Jett to our family was by far the highlight of 2017! Who’d have thought he’d not only capture my heart, but also quickly become such an integral part of Comically Quirky? Wow!

Looks like Jett “photobombed” the picture. Obviously just couldn’t contain himself until Tuesday.
Wishing you and your family (immediate and extended) all the joy, good health and happiness possible for 2018.
