What was the biggest news in your life from last year?

The big news, in my personal life, from 2018 is the move from a 2-bedroom apartment to a 1-bedroom, followed by finding 9 mice in the new "to me" apartment. I'm settling in, going through hard copies of poems, and finding all sorts of things I forgot about. I'm transposing the poems to "Poem Experiments" , "Devotional Poetry" , and "Memories of Snow" . I'm attempting to get back into my writing and reviewing routine. Moving, and all the stress associated with it, has cause a slight problem is writer's block.

Throughout most of December, with the exception of the days I was without internet, I managed to post a gratitude list in "Writing in Snow" . On the days I didn't have an internet connection, I made a list in a pen and paper journal, I decided not to post those. Instead I started out fresh when the internet was restored. There wasn't any other stressful or spectacular news from 2018.
