As we ALL know 2008 was one of the worst years in memory...or atleast in my memory!!! With 2009 finally here, I think we ALL should start this year with a positive attitude to help 2009 fulfill our wishes!!! I know that personally I plan on looking toward a brighter future & NOT even dare to look back to the bleak!!! None of us can do this alone; however, if we ALL join together to work toward this goal, I believe we can achieve it!!! Today is the FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF OUR LIVES!!! Let's take control to make it a brighter future!!! Can you tell me what you plan to do to leave the past in the past & look toward a more peaceful & happier future??? Come on people. If we ALL work together, WE CAN DO THIS!!!

I wonder why 2008 was so horrible for everyone. It's interesting to know that I am not the only one that is glad 2008 is over. The economy sucked, everything sucked and I am looking forward to beginning a new year and hope it is better for everyone.

Bravo LadyMarissa! 
I could not agree with you more on this one. Damn the analytical predictions of doom and gloom as 2009 will be what we make of it! Collectively we4 can make a difference if we believe and achieve. Happy 2009 to one and all and let's prove the naysayers wrong!

Will be difficult to leave the past behind because it was something that left deep slashes. But for sure I will try. I really want to have a different 2009. My nephew got here in Fortaleza two days ago and he touched me deeply when he said I was his influence and he told everybody that asked him what was his influence to start with music that was with me listening to music with him when he was a boy. I am even thinking of studying music again. Who knows?

Well I am not going to sit back and just hope that this will be a better year. I know I have to do my part to make it so. Since I just managed to figure out what my problem has been I feel like I have a fighting chance to fix this problem. So I am with you on this one. Let's all plan for a brighter future.

I am going to ignore all things that bother me, such as rude people or comments made by people, online and off. I will not let anyone make me question who I am or make me feel like a loser or low-life. I know who I am and where my heart stands. I wish you the best year ever!!!
