I can't believe I didn't mention this in the OP, but too late to edit it, so:

I will be glad to say goodbye to disease, which hit my family pretty hard this year. My aunt died of lung cancer, and her daughter was diagnosed with stage 4 lymphoma, the treatment for which was so bad that near the end she landed in the hospital because she was no longer able to eat. But her treatment should be concluded by now, so I'm glad to see the end of that. It was especially tough for her not being able to be there for her mom while trying to survive herself. Smoking is bad, mmmkay?

Based on the responses here, I guess I should state that the reason I posted this thread is to say goodbye to all the bad things the year brought me, and look forward to a better year in 2008. You could say I'm casting salty cookies into the waves.

I should also say that LoT has been a bright spot in my life this year, being the source of many of the good things that happened, and providing me a distraction from all the things that have served to drag me down mentally. Thanks, guys!
