Without the bad years, you won't recognize the good years. The calendar moves by much too quickly for me to want to speed it up.

I agree, some years have been better than others, but as long as we stay healthy with a roof over our heads I haven't had a bad one yet.

I remember a very wise old black gentleman once telling me that, at his age, every day above ground was a good day.
I have never had a bad day since.

That is my position, old, okay, wise? The day is material for us to use to make something, the best we can.

I thought it was just me. 2009 hasn't been good so far for us and I was only thinking yesterday that I would be glad to see the back of it.

Yeah, it's always a good thing to remind ourselves that we are a 'lot better off than some'.

Have to confess though, it's getting a lot harder to do some days

Shall we just have a 'virtual' new years eve party in the knobs and knockers tonight and start 2010 tomorrow early? or whenever we wake up

I really don't like to wish my life away, but I would gladly give up the next 4 months, if I could be sure that next year will be an improvement on this one!
