How has this year been for you, do yu have any hopes or predictions for yourself for next year? This doesn't have to just about endo related stuff by the way it's just general end of the year stuff, whatever you want to reflect on or share!

Well this year hasn't been great for me, diagnosed with endo & having 2nd lap this year in a week, split up with my long term boyfriend and lost a lovely house we lived in...
but on the positive I had managed to continue with my career and got a promotion (and pay rise) so I now work from home which is a fantastic plus with endo. My boyfriend and I got back together and we are hoping to be in our own (bought) house for xmas 2007!
It will be really interesting to read everyone elses responses

It's been a pretty stressful year for me, I've been hoping next year will be better! I've spent a lot of this year just worrying about money with my low-paying job and high-charging health insurance. Worst of all, I lost my cat who was my best friend for 15 years. The thing i hope for most of all next year is that I will get a better job! I also hope for my mother's sake that my dad will get a job that gives him health insurance--he's just doing contract work right now and has his own insurance but he can't put my mother on as a dependent so she's having to work 9 hours a day in a day care, in a room full of two-year-olds! Her job wears her out and she never has any time for anything so I hope she will be able to quit. I also hope my sister's new baby will be born very healthy and that my kitten will continue to be healthy as she grows up! I also hope, as I'm sure everyone on here does, that I will see some serious improvement with this disease! Maybe next year I will find exactly what I need to make a lot more pain go away.

It has been a very long year for me health wise (3 laps in 4 months - losing part of my bladder). Personally the year has been great - sailboat purchase and our store was opened for its first year. Next year I hope to get healthier and stick to eating right. I also am hoping to find a new job, one where I won't have to travel all of the time. I would also like to refinish the inside of our sailboat (I asked for power tools for Christmas). Pregancy is definitely on the top of my list.

Glad that everyone has such positive thoughts about the year to come! I have had a very eventful year to say the least, but I have come to terms with the bad stuff, so here goes! Visited New York, Had lap and was diagnosed with endo, myself and my little sister were made homeless by our mum, but got a lovely little place of our own. Lost my job same time as my home under very hurtful circumstances and done some interesting and different work since! Started back at uni doing a construction based course, of which I am now the only female student! To be honest it took me 3 weeks to notice! Also found that my sister has been struggling with dyslexia for years, and the tutor who assessed her didn't tell anyone so she has been left to deal with it alone. The endo was a big blow but I am a better person for what I have been through with it, and the awful treatment I was prescribed. I know my body a lot better for one thing, and have been through and got over that whole self pity thing. Next year I hope things are better for my sis who is a massively talented artist, that I get this job that I am going through the final assessments for, and that I do well at uni. Also hope that after all the festive eating that I continue to eat properly and healthily, and that i can continue to control my endo rather than go back to it controlling me. Hope my relationship with my boyfriend (2 years in Feb!) continues to strengthen and grow, cos though we have had a rough year he has been an absolute rock through all the bad times and so have his family and my sis. Without even knowing, they have probably saved my life. Hope my best friend from school goes on to be the fantastic mum we all think she will be when her first, a little boy is born in March. Plus, back to New York in September! This year I have grown so much and can find happiness everywhere, have found that no friends is better than awful ones, and that people you can't see can be a massive support!(that's you guys btw, thank you!)

I got to travel to thailand and europe this year, started out with a relationship that ended but met someone who is blowing my mind, taking it slow, very high quallity time, forces me to be myslef, to be clear, to take care of myself in every way...
made a gigantic turn in terms of my body and connecting to what it really needs thanks to this site, this opens up so many more things... so I hope this is the year of lots of yoga and walks, and I hope to take alot more body work courses to deepen my massage practice
I hope to be cooking great meals for myself and friends and I hope to be travelling for work and pleasure (possibly China and South Africa and starting the year with a trip to Seattle to see my 85 year old grandmother get married...wow) but also the little weekend trips to places 2 or 3 hours away on a plane or in a car, nature nature nature A big focus will be on my creative world...writing, theatre, and music, and finding a way to make these the main ingredients in my life and building an income from them as well slow and steady and lots of self love...less worry, less anger, less resistance
