Accentuate the Positive Geneameme 2019

Once again I am asking you to reflect on your geneayear. I ran a version of this meme each year between 2012 and 2017 but somehow forgot to post it last year. 
I am back again asking you to take some time to reflect on the past year and rejoice in your successes.
