Year in Review 2017

Tomorrow is the first day of the last month of 2017!  Did you accomplish whatever you set out to do on Jan 1?  Did you lose the weight?  Get the job?  Make amends with a friend/family member?  Finally clean out the garage/attic/basement?  December is a great time to reflect on the year and try to end the year on a high note, no matter how the other 11 months may have treated you.  So, in reflection, here is a Year in Review from several sources.
