Happy New Year

What will 2008 bring us? What did 2007 leave behind? The future is never known; never certain. The past is always defined by accomplishments and failures. What accomplishment or failure do you remember about 2007? Was the year productive, destructive`, constructive or reductive?

My wife and I purchased a home this year. It's great being a homeowner but it sucks to pay a mortgage. Gas prices hit record highs w/o government concern about middle income families trying to meet expenses. With the rising price of oil all consumer products to a leap upward. However, incomes will not reflect the increased inflation this year.

My boss announced his retirement in 2007 slated for 2008. I am happy for him. He has done phenomenal work in his 36 years as department head. My anxiety is that we will hire someone without the understanding, influence and wisdom. Of course that is the case with all leadership changes. It's a case of "better to live with the devil you know rather than one that you don't."

Been a tough winter. We're down to one car and one motorcycle. Snow and ice on Nebraska roads make traveling. . . challenging. :)

I look forward to seeing my family in 2008. Visiting my step-daughter in Orlando, my brother in New Orleans, my in-laws in NC, my sister and my close friends in Ohio. I look forward to a trip to Sturgis with other friends and on to Yellowstone.

I look forward to sleeping one Saturday, all day.

I look forward to world peace and good will toward all men, women and children.

I thank God for all the good and the trials faced. God has and will sustain me.

God saw me through 2007 with some perilous events. God will be with me through 2008 as well. Can you say the same?

I wish all of you a God filled and blessed . . . . .
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
