2009 - The Thread

Well we are just days from saying adios to 2008 and ringing the New Year of 2009! With a new year comes new expectations, plans, dreams, challenges, and experiences. What do you think and/or hope for the New Year?

While 2008 has been a rough year on a national/global scale I must look back at it in a very positive light. It's been an amazing year for me. No, I haven't found great wealth but I am rich with what really matters in life. My cup runneth over! 2009 shapes up to be even more fantastic in this department. For the first time in years I look towards my future with a sense of renewed hope and optimism. While I always look on the bright side of life it has been really hard in the past few years to feel that way towards the future. In past years I may have known what was right ahead of me but I still felt as if was going nowhere. My life received the spark I so desperately needed this year. While I may not know exactly where my life is headed next year and thereafter, I know the general direction and it excites me.

I hope that next year will bring me and y'all together in person and right now I am almost certain of its likelihood. There is only one way that it won't happen and that would be if the direction my life is taking dictates it (if I go farther down the road faster than I currently anticipate).

Please excuse me for being vague. I do so to keep this thread focused on its intent In other words I don't want it derailed right away...although I know it will happen for some reason. I am just delaying the inevitable.

I hope that I can pay the bills.....that is all for now.

My mother and kids baked so many cookies yesterday. Then they packed them up, along with some fudge they also made, and brought them over. So, I may not have Mothers Cookies - but I have mother's cookies and they are delish. Just had to share. :D

You lost your cookies?

I hope you feel better soon! ;)

While life is always a struggle, my hope is that we can stay the course with my family by our side. After all, the trip is only worth taking if it is shared with loved ones.

Here's hoping for more surprises in 2009 :cheers:
