What 2017 means to me

If I had 3 words that describe 2017 it would be Earth, Wind, and Fire, but it was no boogie wonderland. It was a year filled with strong earthquakes, forest fires, and powerful storms. The Americas were plagued by storm after storm after storm. There were forest fires in Portugal, America and around the world. A tower block in London called Grenfel burned up killing over 70 people, I was angered by the fire because if the apartments were all on ground level it would be called a village, it was a whole community, the insulation on the building was flammable and turned the tower block into a vertical flame thrower. A similar incident occurred in New York during Christmas.  Mexico had a very powerful Earthquake and there were many Earthquakes around the world.
Here in the UK, people were openly mocking political decisions. Brexit and Trump, I felt that this is wrong because they were democratically elected and people usually have a good reason to vote the way they do. People were categorizing these decisions as mistakes. I don't mind but it becomes so repetitive and annoying after a whole year. 

In July I spent almost the whole month in Peru and had my Catholic wedding ceremony there. I was already married the previous year but it was only a civil ceremony. This one was a Catholic one for my wife's friends and family. I was pleased that my parents and aunty came because Peru is very far from our homes. 

A number of things came to an end in 2017. The Cassini space probe completed its work and deliberately dropped into Saturn to prevent the moons being contaminated by microbes from Earth. President Mugabe stepped down from the leadership of Zimbabwe. My residence in London also came to an end and I moved beyond the M25 to live in a small town nearby.
The war in Seria came to an end and Isis was defeated by the other forces.
I have left 2017 with some questions for 2018. Will I be reunited with my wife? When will I be reunited with my wife? Will 2018 be my best year so far? Will it be the year when I become rich and prosperous?
What is in store for everyone in 2018? what will be written in the history books? Will there be peace on Earth? Will there be a joyful existence for many people on Earth? I have so many questions and so much mystery to discover.
