2008 will be great

I know things could be far worse, but I am looking forward to having this year behind me. It has been a tough one. I will spare you all of the details. On top of everything that I went through this year, the day after Christmas when I was dirving to work I lost control of my car ( i was going about 50mph) must have hit some black ice. My car slid all over, spun around and hit a cement barrier. Luckily I was not hurt and there was not anyone else out on the roads as it was a little after 5am. My car was still driveable, however I was very nervous as it was my first accident ever. That night I came down with a bad cold and ended up sleeping most of thursday, worked a short day on Friday then slept all weekend. As I said above, I know things could be worse..I guess I am ending this year, out like a lion so that means it should be smooth sailing next year right??:o Happy 2008!!

Glad you are okay. 2007 was a tough one for me, too. Details are posted elsewhere in the forums, so I won't repeat. I'm looking forward to continuing on this journey.

Yep, 2007 was a heck of a year. I'm pretty darned sure 2008 is going to be fantastic. I have a hunch this year will be filled with great things.

Wow, Solobiker, I hadn't seen this thread until today. I am sure glad you are ok. Your cold was probably stress induced from your accident. There is nothing scarier than your car hitting black ice (well maybe a few other things can be scarier), but that was bad enough. I hope your 2008 is better in all phases of your life...How are you doing today?

Solo... I replied to this about 36 hours ago - dunno where my post went!

I said something along the lines of how pleased I was you were unscathed and how I hoped your cold disappeared real quick with that weekend sleep

Def smooth sailing for you this year... all the way :D

Solo - 2007 was an incredibly tough year for me, too. I'm doing everything in my power to make 2008 better and have a good attitude about it. I'm so glad you weren't hurt in the accident and I hope 2008 is a great one!

2007 also was a bad one for me. It started off bad on New Years Day (I remember telling a good friend between the tears that day that this was a bad omen as to what the year would bring). Boy was I right! Anyway - I like the rest of you guys survived the year and I'm sure we are all a bit stronger from the various ordeals/problems we faced in 2007. I was very excited to see 2007 exit and the arrival of 2008. This year has started off much, much, much better and a huge smile consumes my face. Oh what a difference a year makes! Keep smiling ladies for we are all survivors and we are all wonderful people.

Thanks for your repies. I still have this stinkin cold/sore throat. Going on to 9 days. At least it not as bad as when it started. I know that I am not the only one who had several struggles in 2007 so I wish everyone the very best this year. You are all great and wonderful people;)
