I don’t think I have ever been so glad to see a year pass like I have this one. The year 2008 will go down in my memory as not what I would call one of the better years. In fact, between the state of the economy and everything else, it rather sucked!!!
I have so much HOPE for 2009. HOPE is a powerful word. When you have nothing at all, as long as you have HOPE, then you have a chance. Without HOPE, you have nothing. Well I have HOPE and hope and pray that there are many others out there that do to. I would hate to think that they didn’t.
Things are going to turn around. It might take some time but it will get better. We always go through tough economic times when one party has been in office for several terms and then the next party is voted in. Most of the time it’s not quite as bad as it is now but we have someone that has given most of us HOPE in the form of Barack Obama. We shall see if he lives up to at least half of his promises which I believe he will live up to more than that if at all possible. That would be a record for a politician.
