Final Friday of 2004

Well it's the last day of the year. It always brings reflections. Happy Birthday to my Mother, although you don't read this I'll say it just the same and will call you later. This year was alot; I think for everyone. We moved twice, second time out of state to new job and new world. We lost some people, who will be greatly missed and fondly remembered. We met new people and gained new friends. We lost a dog, a tankful of fishes, but gained a hambutted cat with his almost humanlike personality. We fought a hard battle to get our president re-elected and won. (I know it just irks the hell outta some of you) We've cried, yelled, and laughed. We learned lessons in life whether we wanted to or not. We saw friends suffer through illness and longed to be able to do something to help. We sent soldiers off to war and prayed they come home safely and wept because some haven't. We saw tragedy on a grand scale both on our soil and across the globe and prayed to God for the safety of all We lived and loved and held onto our loved ones for dear life because life is short and one never knows. We blogged; and boy have we blogged! We blogged elections, crochet, knitting, sex, life, religion, kids, cats, love, hate; you name it someone has blogged it! We all grew a year older and hopefully a little wiser. We hopefully all learned to cherish life a little more and to be thankful for what we have. All in all I guess what I am trying to say is: HOLY FLYING BATCRAP BATMAN! WE MADE IT THROUGH ANOTHER YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Happy SAFE New Year. Please if you are gonna be out, don't drink and drive. (I'll blog the bowl games later)
