What will 2008 hold for you?

Hi Ladies -

What will 2008 hold for you?

Our family had a fabulous 2007! Our daughter graduated from college, found a great job and got married. She and our new son-in-law live only 25 minutes away.

Our son graduated from high school and began attending a small Christian college about 4 hours away. He loves it and, although we miss him, we're happy for this new adventure in his life.

My husband is a city councilman and ran for re-election and won. I had a hysterectomy in November. Everything went very smoothly.

So I'm looking forward to feeling better than I have in many years. I'm also excited about having more time with my husband. We were so busy this fall we really never noticed the "empty nest" too much.

This is a great time to re-evaluate how I spend my time - at home, with hubby, with my friends, with God, etc... This feels like the beginning of an exciting new adventure.

I'd love to hear what others are looking forward to this year.

I truly have only one wish for the year 2008: Good health. That's all. As far as I am concerned, anything else pales in comparison.

For me, the year 2007 started off with being diagnosed with Stage III Colon Cancer. :mad: I had a colon resection on January 22nd and six weeks later started chemotherapy. After only two days of that, I got so sick that I fainted dead away on my bathroom floor in the middle of the night, somehow managing to bonk my head on the way down. So much for chemo! :(

I can't imagine that this year could be any worse than 2007, but I suppose "time will tell."

I am looking forward to 2008.

At the end of December I had my annual review at work. Very good, I walked out feeling appreciated and was given more leverage in my job which will make things easier at work. There will be a little more stress, but I can deal with it.

DH and DS are great people and I love to be with them.

2008 started out with a huge fight with my Daughter. We didn't speak for a week. It was stressful. I hope that wasn't a sign of the year ahead.

So with that in mind.. I am praying for a better year.

I want by the end of 2008 to be able to say....

-I lost 40 pounds and I feel great !
-My Neighbor decided not to sue me and we are friends now !
-My Son-in-law got a job and now my Daughter can stay home with the kids.
- I got a fantastic part-time job that I love.
- My Husband surprised me with a trip to Hawaii for my Birthday!
- My family & I are healthy and happy.


I must say.. The most important thing is to be thankful that my family is in good health. The post by Carmen really does put my silly problems into perspective.

I'm not sure what 2008 will hold, I am hoping that:
My family and I remain healthy.
I am able to exercise, lose weight and feel like I did when I was going to the gym regularly before my work schedule and job stress got in the way.
My new assignment at work provides job satisfaction and makes me feel like I have a career instead of just a paycheck.


Take care
