It's New Years Eve....already!

Does anyone else reach this day each year and wonder where the time has gone....I do! I often wonder how the year went by so quickly and what in the world did I get accomplished. It is mind boggling sometimes. Sometimes I feel like Arthur, in the episode that he realizes summer vacation is about to end and he didn't do all the things on his list. He then rushes around trying to do everything he wrote down but can't. Then his friends remind him, that he really did accomplish and do everything on his list but somehow in a different way.

So, whats my point. I am not afraid to let go of this year. I am not going to hang on to it. I am going to let it go. Its been a hard year in some ways, and a delightful year in other ways. Its time to say goodbye. I can't go back, I can only move forward. So, farewell to 2008. I bid you adieu. May your passing be quiet and may your pages of history live on forever.

Happy New Year, Jill. I wish you the very best in 2009. I am grateful for all the things that you have shared these past couple of months. Also, knowing how you have dealt with things has really strengthened me. You are a great example!!!!!

Yay Jill! That is going to be my attitude too and the two of us together are going to get there thru our frienship connection-Can you believe we have known each other since the age of 12?! Remember all those crazy New Year's Eve parties at the mall with 4 different bands, movies, food, etc. The best part was our parents could be there but we could be at a different end of the mall:) Hmm...... maybe a good blog post!!!
