Sometimes things don't go great, and you think it's not going to get better. WRONG! Focus on your health during your off season, and come on here and let us give you crap. We love to do it, just ask FIT (license taken here FIT).
Not to compare lives, because you cannot, but in the past 16 months we've put my in-laws into assisted living, had one of them be combative and declared unable to make their own decisions, put that person into a separate facility, lost an estranged parent and had to become executor and settle their estate without a will, lost an uncle, had to empty parent's apartment 800 miles away, and remove many, many tons of metal and wood from in-laws' house. Again, not the same as one's health, but 2014 was a crappy year none the less.
Please focus on the positive - you're here and able to exchange banter with us and talk about all sorts of mundane things (I won't point out anyone but they know who they are...
). Come here often and learn whether brewer X put in 1.5 or 1.49 ounces of hops, their quandry over whether to mill grain or crush with a rolling pin, and other edge-of-your-chair suspense. It's like Peyton Place, or As The World Turns. "Will Paul ask Angela that deep probing question"? Paul - "Angela, do you think I should brew outside or in my garage"? 
Things get better, and no next week it won't be 8 degrees (it will be 9).
CHEER UP!
