Goals for 2017 by Brad Windhauser 2016 turned out to be a surprise of a year for me.

2016: A Crossroads Year
Posted by Ron Hayes in Goals 2016, Poetry, Ron on January 3, 2016
by Ron Hayes In the Memeland known as Facebook, there’s a certain meme that has struck me kinda hard over the past few days.

The Year That Was: Reflecting on 2014 and Looking Ahead to 2015 by Brad Windhauser When I was a kid, the approach of Christmas made me giddy: the decorated tree, my aunt’s delicious cookies, the large presents, and the time off school.
