Welcome to the last day of the year. I was first thinking about how perfectly glad I am that 2008 is over (Ding-dong-the-witch-is-dead-style) but then I decided to change my paradigm and think about the beautiful things of 2008. Kind of like at a funeral and you didn’t really like the guy, but you feel you should say something nice about him anyways. Who am I to speak ill of a dead, or mostly dead year?
And thus, the premise of the very last
Good Word Wednesday of 2008:
What Made Life Beautiful In 2008
So what made your 2008 a beauty? Let’s say one more nice thing and throw a rose on the casket, shall we? Then turn our faces square into the sunny morning of 2009 because I just know it is going to be one freak awesome year.
Well, friends, tonight I fully intend to live it up. End 2008 with a bang. Martinelli’s, shrimp cocktail and 2009 here I come…See you all next year.
I think I feel the same way about 2008 as you do Molly. It was full of moving and stressful days, but I have grown so much and learned so much about myself. I like to think of 2008 as my growing up year.
ReplyDeleteI learned how to live far away from five of my bestest friends
(My Marmee, Molly, Chels, Darc, Beth and Katie).
I learned how to make a lot of homemade foods!
I learned how to rely on the Lord more.
I learned that I am stronger then I would have ever thought.
I learned that I have the best husband, who will sit and listen to me when I am happy, sad, mad or feeling any kind of emotion.
I learned how to be a better mommy.
I learned how to be more outgoing and to make friends in new places (now I am not scared to talk to anyone! That for you mom!)
Thanks 2008 for teaching me so much!
Yeah I won't be sad to see 2008 go. It wasn't the worst year, but it didn't live up to the hype at the beginning of the year.
ReplyDeleteHere's to a wonderful 2009!
This was a bad year for us as well. I'm praying for a wonderful 2009!

ReplyDeleteI actually enjoyed 2008. I Lost over 40 pounds and it has been 1 year since my family was sealed together for time and all eternity.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great way to summarize your year. I love the positive spin you have on it and the fun moments you highlighted. Hope 2009 is as wonderful!
