Happy New Year - To Everyone
I just wanted to take a brief moment to wish everyone a happy (whatever that means to YOU) new year. Been kind of a weird year for me, especially the last couple of months w/ the first and second surgeries etc. But as I came to after the second one - and I admit to leaning a little to the cheesy side a bit - I really did rediscover the things I am grateful for and Dawg Nation is one of those things. Nine times out of ten when I come to this board, I find something that makes me smile or laugh. Oddly, since leaving the U.S., I've followed the Dawgs in a much more intense way than I did when I was stateside. I attribute that to taking things for granted. But now that I live overseas, I don't. The board - and the Dawg Nation in general - has kept me grounded and, during those times when I'm feeling a little homesick, plugs me back into my old life and represents continuity. So, thanks to everyone for contributing to the conversation(s) and best wishes for 2019.

Happy new year Kelly and all. I too had an extended break from DN over the summer and early fall due to surgery and (ongoing) chemo. It really does change my perspective on life especially emphasizing the value of family and friends. I enjoy this forum and, as many make their resolutions, would strongly encourage all to not take your health for granted. If you should take a test TAKE IT! My issue was made considerably worse by my own stupidity in self diagnosing my problem. Good luck and prosperity to all for 2019 and GO DAWGS!
Happy New year to you @kelly_b. Hope you have a successful recovery from your surgeries. Having been through an ACL, an acromioplasty and 2 back surgeries I know what you're going through. Best wishes. GATA!
Thanks @Catfish, @Denmen185.
Oof, Cat, that's a tough surgical resume.
