I've taken 2016 things off the blog and combined them here for a summary.
Overall, it was a good year for UFO finishes and other things too.
2017 is going to be less on UFOs and more on changes. I have many areas in my life that need change made and 2017 will be looking, researching, evaluating and making some needed changes.
