Leaving 2008 behind

As some of you know, I do not care for New Years Eve. It has always been a depressing day for me.The fact that everyone thinks that 12:01 Am will change everything for the better confuses me.I know we need to look forward to new things and changes in our world, but we can do that everyday.Even on a Tuesday in March or July.
I have had so many changes in my life and allot have happened this past 6 months.I have been blessed in so many ways with these changes. I feel at home here in Alaska,but miss my family and friends in Idaho. I miss my previous work family, but am blessed with another family here. I have grown very attached to each of them as they are truly the family I have here. I have a roof over my head,food on the table and cloths on my back and we have our health(this week lol). I have a beautiful place to live and views that sometimes don't look real. It's as if they were painted or taken out of a book. I have often looked at all the mistakes or poor choices I have made in my life and realize that if these things had not happened, I would not have what I have today.I have the love's of my life with me everyday. My son, Karter he is the perfect little man and it is hard to believe he will be 11 in May. What happened to the time. Then there is Tony. We will be together 20 years this year and married for 16 on January 22.I look back and wonder how or why I would ever want to do it all without him. It's funny when you are with someone this long there is such a history you barley remember living without them. I guess what I am saying is I am reflecting on the past years instead of just 2008. What 2009 and the next years will bring we don't know, but I do know that I will love,listen and learn harder to better myself in anyway I can for my family and friends.So,may the next years bring us happiness,health and joy and the common sense to not take it for granted!
Love to all
