I’m in bed while this posts, because the cold and my health mean that I’m not going to be staying up to see in the new year itself. I am wishing everyone the best for the year of 2008.

We’ve taken our licks in this past year, but we’re starting the new year on a positive note. We’re home owners. We have a positive outlook for the next year. My husband and I are committed to working together to improve our health, to exercise together, to eat healthier so that we can lose weight and show a good face and good attitude to our son. We’re both battling through things together, helping to make our house hold the best that it can be for the new year by fixing things, finding things that we need, and sorting out trades. He’s been finding clients for me, I’ve been managing the books and things like that.

I hope that everyone else can face the New Year with a positive outlook. It seems to me that there have been a lot of hideous things in the year past. I thought 2006 had it’s rough spots, but 2007 seems to have been rougher still. In 2006 we had the joyous event of our son’s birth to hold things to light, and while he’s a treasure to us, we had the loss of my mother-in-law this year, and some horrendous happenstances with both my husband’s health and my own, and having to move twice in the same year. All big causes of stress.

The only way is up!
