But it has been a good year for me - highlight of the year was probably the trip to Japan.

Life is good will buy some newer buses next year.

And things can always get worse.........so you could look on it that things are reasonable at present.

Just in time for the world economic crash.
Lets hope we all keep our jobs (and lets hope I don't need one) next year.

724114 2008-11-29 20:53:00 Considering the alternative, life is good.
I dare say that looking at the lid for eternity isn't a lot of fun.
We all have trying times, but once you accept that life is going on around you, you just have to get on with it.
Be happy for all the good times that you have had with freinds and family.
I for one would rather have the hurt than never having had them in my life.

Keep Smiling

724115 2008-11-29 21:34:00 Someone mentioned the year seemed to go very fast. This is so true - it feels likes each year is so much shorter than the previous. I believe this happens because as each year passes, it represents a smaller proportion of your life. So while we are above ground we have to make the most of what we have.

2008 was a good year. New government, new house, new job which is 4 days/week (actually first job in 12 years after being self-employed). Still haven't won lotto, but it doesn't stop me trying. Gotta stay positive! :)

724116 2008-11-29 21:46:00 It's not over yet!

But it has been a pretty big year for me as well.
Like rob we had our first baby, born 7th May, changing our lives forever in a great way.
Business moved from being at home to having a building in town and since then has been getting busier all the time. Hopefully will have enough work soon to hire someone.
Wife has started her own business as well, importing and selling equine grooming and care products.
Brother has joined a band playing the bass and they recorded their first song! karl_on_bass :D

Looking forward to next year. Youngest sister is getting married in Jan. Hopefully we will have enough money for a deposit on a new house/land so we can move out of this rental.

724119 2008-11-30 20:31:00 Hmmm . . . .

- bought a house with SWMBO
- designed some influential systems here at work that are being inplemented nationwide
- still have my health one year after the surgery, as does mum
- got my photo in the paper for growing a vegie garden (!!:D!!)
- mortgage rates are dropping, as has petrol in the latter half of the year

Yeah, it's been a positive year for me all in all :thumbs:
