Although I wouldn't consider this one of the country's or my best years, I'm thankful to have made it through it. It wasn't always the best year for Sylvia the cat, either:
November 2017: Wounded tabby Sylvia displays her bandage like a resilient champ.
Nevertheless, I'm very thankful 2017 wasn't any worse than it was. Here's hoping 2018, however, is better.
