Happy New Year 2009

Boy, it may take a while before I'm comfortable typing or writing 2009, but isn't that always the case? Even though, we knew it was coming and now, here it is. Like it or not. Why is it, as we grow older, the passage of time seems more like a death threat than another passing year? I will never understand it.

Another year just means more experience, more knowledge, more maturity & more friends to share it all with! Why do we fear the coming of a new year? I think about the possibilities of starting fresh, setting new goals and making plans for better'ing ourselves. I face 2009 with a fresh outlook, a new hope, a fresh outlook and high hopes. Come with me?

I sit here tonight with a fire in the fireplace, Jon on the other couch, Abby & Scruffy & Willow (2 dogs & a cat) resting in my presence, considering my day tomorrow...it's time to go back to work. Ugh. Although, it's only a 1/2 day, it could turn out to be more hours than that ut I would love to not have to go in. I love my job but I also love my home, my farm, my life.

I wish all of my friends, family, aquaintances, and anyone who reads my blog regularly ( I consider you a friend!) a very Happy New Year, a prosporous 2009 and may all your dreams come true. May God bless you and shed his mercies on you day after day. We love you and expect the best for you in 2009.

Until next time...
