This year has been....____________. Fill in the blank for your most relevant description. I am sure we are all very glad to wrap up 2008. Home prices have dropped dramatically, the economy is hurting, friends have been laid off, bailouts, bank closures, investment houses disappeared, etc. etc. etc. Yuck!
And then I look at the things that I cherish. My kids, Max & Vivienne, now 10 years old. My lovely "significant other" with a smile that won't quit. My mom, grandma and other family members. My friends, coworkers, and the far flung supporters of my life and our community (from local to global). These "assets" never lose their value. In fact, they become more precious every day. I hope you have wonderful people in your life too.
It's time to be thankful for what we have and to look forward to what 2009 will bring. I wish you all a wonderful evening to wrap up this year and an awesome new year. May it be the best you can hope for. Happy New Years:-)
