What is the best thing that happened to you in 2008? (quote)

right-track · 12-24-2008, 05:54 PM

2008 has been a kind year to me. It's had it's ups and downs, but I'm not complaining. A holiday abroad and I've still got my job.

Our childminders husband was rushed to hospital a few weeks ago.
He spent 5 hours on the assessment ward before being seen.
When they finally attended to him, they rushed him into intensive care. His face went purple, his ear went black and he had two coronaries.
After which, his hands and feet went black and he died the next day. He left a wife and two small children aged 8 and 3. He was only 41 and fit as a fiddle.
A very sad end to the year which put everything into perspective and got me counting my blessings.

Finding a girl who's a trained chef , kinky as hell and who thinks the sun shines out of my arse.

Awful taste in music but i'm beyond caring about that.

Finished school, and came away with some pretty good marks despite doing very little study.
Of course, now I have a year and a half to earn 18 grand before going to uni, which puts a damper on my year off.

I guess I had an okay year. I think I've met someone who's going to be my best friend through college. I switched to a completely vegan, not just vegetarian, diet which has been good for my moods. This year was kind of...boring for me. I read a few good books but I did last year and I've managed to maintain a 3.8 GPA but that's nothing new. If next year the Democrats deliver universal health care (or at least give it back to minors since Bush for some reason decided to take away that), get out of us Iraq (and hopefully all the middle east) and fix this financial mess I'll probably be happier the year happened.

That's quite the wish list you've got there...

That's not even me at my most idealistic ;_; just my most realistically optimistic.
