This year was so messed up for so many reasons. For one 2007 wasn't to good but I maintained. I swore 08 would be better and have only seen times get worse. I still haven't recorded any new music or got my entire studio back together fr that matter. My brother went to prison and may not come out for six years (or more, originally they wanted to give him 17). Of course the economy is bad and we are all struggling but some people have managed to keep their selves above water. Not me. I lost my apartment in March and broke up with my girlfriend after almost a year and a half of being together. I couldn't see my daughter for her birthday which I NEVER miss and she so wants to see me. I miss her more than anything.
I know things are going to get better. I have a friend who is going to invest money in my music and rebuilding the studio, and I am planning on opening a restaurant next year. But as for 2008, I am ready for it to be over already. Here's to 2009, may it be a blessed year for everyone!

Most of all I couldn't do the things I enjoy doing. Missed Homecoming, traveling was out this year and I did like no shopping whatsoever! Wait I did buy a pair of jeans (OOHH). This year has been a bust for me.
I am still standing so I am grateful for that though!

I am thankful for the year that God has given us. The first half of the year was going pretty well. It looked like we were going in the right direction, everyone was happy and healthy. Good news came from different members of the family such as weddings, engagements, pregnancies and a promotion. That seemed to change mid year, we had 5 deaths on my husbands side of the family including his father, a cousin lost her baby due to miscarriage and the person that got the promotion lost his position and took a huge cut in pay just to stay employed. My brother lost his job, I have been out of work for 2 months now due to cellulitis in my leg and probably not going back for a couple more months. Through the grace of God we all got through these issues and we hope that next year will bring us more happiness. To look on the bright side of things once again, we have another engagement, planning a wedding in May and a sis-in-law expecting a baby in April.

It is like a dream for me this year,I just cannot believe all the things I have encountered are real.I'm still in the dream and couldn't figure out what is true around me.It was my second time to get on a police car.I lost one of my bestfriends and I almost lost my mobilephone in the bathroom.But I have a new little brother who is one of the middle school students I have taught.I fell in love with a guy who turned out to be another girl's boyfriend and I unfortunately met a thief who steal my friend's mobilephone.That's funny,haha.It is funny that my entire life is filled with possibilities and mistakes and is like a comedy.

I think that my year 2008 has been so good to me although I encountered a lot of problems and difficulties towards the middle of the year. I went through a lot of things and made a few huge decisions about my life and career. This includes my resignation from work and going back to school. It was like looking for myself and what I really want to do in my life. I am thankful to God for the strength and blessings that He gave me. I am also grateful to my family, boyfriend and friends who supported me in every step that I took this year. It was a rough road but I made it through because of them. In 2009, I am looking forward to a more fruitful year in my life.

My life for 2008 was a total disaster...I could not and have not been able to find a job. I had a close family member to pass away and in all things just have not been right at all. The only thing that has kept me sane through out this year is my daughter, she shows me everyday why I can't give up on anything, I love her so very much. I am hoping that 2009 will be a better year for me.

2008 has definitely been one of the worst years of my life. I've been going through a lot. Financial problems, family problems, people at work and school treating me like garbage. I'm not even looking forward to the holidays this year. I just hope 2009 is better for me.

It has been a very challenging year for me. I left my old job for a new one in July. I had experienced financial shortage which I never experienced before, I took a lot more risks this year than I have ever taken in my life.
On a deeper perspective, I guess this year has been the most challenging and intellectually stimulating year so far!
I can't wait for the next one!

Hi, zatak07. It's really bad for me this year. Whether our country or my family, it's a bad year. There is earthquake, snow disaster, economy crisis in our country. There are debts, sickness, unemployment in my family. I hope when 2008 is over, all bads can go away too. I hope 2009 is a new year with good luck for me, and for all people.
