World Peace, for there to be no starving children in the world, to see pigs fly without downing dubious liquids to do so, for nasty terrorists to fall into permanent sinkholes and never be able to get out, and for airlines/natural events to behave themselves and stop disrupting my customers' travel plans and cause me lots of wrinkles and worry lines.
ok seriously........... booger the above. Just to be with my family and the ones that I love and that love me. We have a policy of no pressies for adults with the extended family. George & I bought the latest Apple Watches for ourselves a couple of weeks ago - and that is our 'let's spoil ourselves' presents for this year.

I too hope that 2017 will be better for you Tpandav and Kone.
Tpandav we too are dealing with a family member with mental health issues and I know how difficult it is.
I am having some guilty respite at present as have blocked her number on my phone. I will be forced to confront things in a week or so but just need a break. It feels quite liberating.

Thank you Helen. Sorry to hear that you are dealing with such a difficult thing, and there are always so many unknowns with mental health problems. Ours will never go away - an adult child whose condition has escalated from being a very troubled teen with ADD and an eating disorder, through to alcohol abuse, drug addiction (meth), criminal charges and now a formal diagnosis of borderline/dependent personality disorder.
I don't know if this site might be helpful to you - it is essentially about personality disorders but has a lot of advice for dealing with any kind of mental illness in family or friends. The demands never stop but there are ways of protecting oneself and creating appropriate boundaries.

Its easy to forget people out there are putting on a brave face at this time of year whilst dealing with the tough stuff. There is no easy fix for many things, trial and error and as its been said getting coping strategies to manage the situations. You cant put a price on health - mental or physical
Having a shoulder to cry on and laugh with, asking for help and sharing the burdens is a must.
So other than health, happiness and love for my family, Id love some new clothes and some money to squirrel away in the bank when life throws you a curve ball.
