Anyone else think that this year went by super fast? It's almost 2009 folks! It's been an interesting year...we had the Spitzer scandal, an earthquake in China, legalized gay marriage in California (which is then taken away!), astronomical oil prices, the Russion-Georgian conflict, Michael Phelps rockin' the Olympics, the crash of the financial markets, Obama wins the presidency, terrorism in Mumbai, OJ Simpson is going to jail, and the Illinois governor corruption charges. And that's only some of the top stories (I got those from CNN). Can't wait to see what 2009 brings. Hope it's a year we can look forward to...

Oh wait. Of course it is! Not to diminish our economic downturn and the crises of the world, I do have some things to look forward to...and I'm pretty sure all of you have things that are actually going well for you too. Keep your chin up, look for the silver lining, and, hey, give yourself a pat on the back for getting through the year. You got plenty more to get through before you're done :-)
