They didn't like 2016

I noticed many in social media expressed their dislike for 2016. Some are grateful that it's over, some remember it as a bad year. For me, it was a good year. I lived it, experienced ups and downs, made new wonderful memories and spent it with the family. I'm grateful to be alive. So, thank you 2016! And here's to you 2017. How about you? How did you find 2016?

There were good times and bad times. There were happy times and sad times. There was laughter and there were tears. 2017 has already had many sad events and I think there will be a lot more. But with eyes fixed on our Heavenly Father we live each day to the best that we can and we know we are in good hands no matter what happens. All the best!

I had some nice days, but the 2016 has not been a good year, several serious bad things happened.

@LadyDuck Will it ever be resolved? Will we have lasting peace?

@Beatburn I fear that this will never be resolved, humans are not made to live in peace.

People hate 2016 because of the wars, tragedies and celebrity deaths. The wars scarred people for life while the celebrity deaths killed childhood nostalgia.

@CaptAlbertWhisker We still have some veteran actors around. Don't want to mention them though as I might jinx it.

I think everything has to do with a very particular perspective.

2016 was the year that I retired and we sold our house and moved to another state. It was a very good year for us.

Every year, day, moment, has its own concerns. We have no way of knowing if 2017 is going to better. We do know that we will all be another bit closer to our last day.

And that's the truth. How we spend the remaining days, weeks, and months may spell the difference.
