2009 - The Thread

BDBopper · 12-20-2008, 03:51 PM

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.

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.

I hope for a job.

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.
