DAZE OF AULD LANG SYNE

What a year it has been! Unsettling to be sure, like
a roller coaster ride. One minute you are on top of the
world and the next minute, the bottom drops out and you
can't see around the next curve, but you know in reason
that it is going to get worse before it gets better.
2008--you were great! Recession, election, aggression.
You turned us topsy-turvy with all the changes. Worries,
hurries and flurries. Intense, suspense, expense. Yep, one
thing for sure, it was not a boring year.
2009---will we be fine? Work, work, work. We all need
work. Jobs, and homes, and cars. Pride and patriotism
again. Pull-together people. Learn from our mistakes.
Dear God, please help America be great again. Guide us!
How blessed we are, how blessed we'll be, in the land
of the brave and the home of the free. Welcome!

It has been a roller coaster for sure and all we can do is hang in there for the ride. Doing the best we can each day. God Bless us all ! Happy New Year to you!
