HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Another year is coming to a close and all of you have brought so much to my life throughout the year that is ending. I think back to all the laughs and giggles, the tears and fears, the hopes and prayers, the disappointments and accomplishments that we shared with each other all along the way.
I can't begin to express just how much you all mean to me and how you have enriched my life. I've learned so much about politics, foreign lands, health, science, theater, movies, music, history, cultural events, and personal opinions that have been major influences on me and others.
I want to wish each and every one of you a very happy New Year and, along with this, wishes for a great 2009 throughout the year! And, I look forward to our continuing friendship in the next year and, hopefully, for many years to come!
