Happy New Year 2008!

Less than four hours here till the dawning of the new year. On this date in 2006, I was reflecting on the challenges of the previous couple of years and hoping for better:

Not too long now, it’ll be 2007. And not a moment too soon. ;)

Last year on this date, I was looking back on a difficult 2005…

Instead of the Litany of Bad Things, I will just say that despite the bad stuff, some good stuff also happened. More than anything, seeds have been planted that might just make 2006 a good one.

Suffice to say that unfortunately, 2006 was even more trying, by a long shot. But I can also say that a lot of good happened this year as well. I can even mean it wholeheartedly when I say that 2007 holds a lot of promise. With some dedication and good fortune, it could be the best year ever.

Well, it wasn’t the best ever, containing as it did its own set of challenging events, but it was better by far than the previous couple. Sort of a transition/recovery year.

No matter what, I’m looking forward to 2008, and the hopes of continuing improvement.

Happy New Year, y’all!
