And a little Gerry in pink cashmere when you're down ;-)<BR/><BR/>Though I'm glad to see 2008 go, I have to be thankful for the things it brought me. I found your books and blog and have been hanging around ever since (and if you get tired of me, let me know ;P .) I managed to stay out of the hospital this year. I had a wayward daughter who returned home. I managed to hit a few personal goals. I laughed more and cried less, had more wins than losses, gained friends and lost some, but don't regret any of it.<BR/><BR/>And in the midst of more than 125 thousand foreclosures in SE Michigan, I'm just happy that we still have our home and my husband still has a job and I wish I could change the circumstances for everyone who now has neither. In that regard, I can only hope 2009 will be better.nightsmusichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05984119792540771870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-19025847284382241892008-12-31T20:17:00.000-05:002008-12-31T20:17:00.000-05:00Am I the only one who actually liked 2008?

I had (still have) a job that I enjoy, with coworkers who make me *laugh* all night long and bosses who appreciate me enough to not only give me a pay raise for the coming year, but a nice bonus for the hard work I do every day.<BR/><BR/>I have a healthy bratling, a car that runs, and a house with a non-leaky roof. And wow, there's even food in the fridge. Mostly junk food, but hey..it's edible.<BR/><BR/>I got to donate money and livestock to people and regions who really needed it (hell, I bought cows and goats ALIVE for the first time ever. Not sure how long they stayed that way, though *g*). People gave me stuff to thank me for giving stuff, which is weird but wonderful. And I met some incredibly awesome people in the midst of all that giving.<BR/><BR/>Life in 2008 was good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-32322649767640280572008-12-31T20:13:00.000-05:002008-12-31T20:13:00.000-05:00Happy New Year from Munich!!!

I suppose that happens sometimes. 2009 should be interesting. Let's hope by mid-year we start to see things turn around.Jordan Summershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00437563784716604402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-66647837934854259432008-12-31T14:01:00.000-05:002008-12-31T14:01:00.000-05:00Thanks for reminding us all to catch those lemons ...Thanks for reminding us all to catch those lemons and make lemonade--and lemon pie--instead of sitting around with a sour face. <BR/><BR/>I hope there are lots of good things and a few challenges in the new year for all of us.Sofie Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16830230500527705589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-61760580696755760842008-12-31T11:37:00.000-05:002008-12-31T11:37:00.000-05:00Thanks, Chica, for all your incredible generosity ...Thanks, Chica, for all your incredible generosity and caring. One of the things you so consistently did in 2008 is offer comradary (sp?) and the hand-up to all who love books and maybe aspire to write them.

If not, we will have about 24 hours to vacate and move somewhere else, so they can bring in someone willing to work for less money.

Even if I do wish I could've spent a lot of it hiding under the bed, I am glad that the last year forced a lot of deep thought and changes in my life.
