End of 2008

The year is coming to and end and I for one am grateful that it is. This year hasn’t been horrible, so I can’t really complain a whole lot about it. I thought about doing a year in review, but I’m not sure I want to. Maybe a few bullet points of certain things.

Good Things

  • I have made several new friends whom I wouldn’t trade for all the money on earth.

  • I finally got a grave marker on my father’s grave

  • I took up crocheting fairly seriously during the colder months and even sent out 2 baby blankets as gifts

  • I went to almost every home football game for my alma mater this year – and we did REALLY WELL!

  • I’ve been reading and listening lots of good audio books

  • I spent more time out of the house doing stuff during the warmer months – including taking Rob cherry and blueberry picking for the first time ever

  • I reconnected with an old friend that I thought I’d never speak to again


  • Bad Things

  • I lost a few friends that I didn’t really think I’d lose and it makes me sad

  • I celebrated the 10 yr anniversary of my father’s passing

  • Our car(s) broke down or had problems more than once when we were in Ithaca

  • I feel pretty severely duped and burned by a newer online friend that made me question whether it’s worth being online any more.

  • I spent more time at doctor’s offices than I did with friends doing fun stuff


  • The good outweigh the bad, for the most part. Overall, I can’t complain a whole lot about the year. You learn from all of it and make the most of it and move on into the new year. I don’t make resolutions. I’m not even setting goals this year. I seem to obsess far too much when I set goals. I will do what I do, I will accomplish what I can accomplish. I will make the most of the year to come.
