Perhaps 2010 will reward you and there will be no tribulations, just good changes.<br /><br />A positive attitude goes a long way - believe me. Since my diagnosis I hardly leave our home - maybe once a month in two years, except for Doctor appointments and our week at the beach - but I make the most of it and try and stay positive. It is all good.<br /><br />You don't have to feel isolated even tho' your circumstances might dictate that you are. Trust me.<br /><br />I see a good 2010 for you Phelan. Just wait.SkippyMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479661523059481730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-68551019673090409352009-12-29T13:13:43.458-06:002009-12-29T13:13:43.458-06:00oh I'm not depressed about it.

I have been through just about everything, save a nuke.<br /><br />You have a great new years as well! This time I'll bring the coffee, have a feeling we'll need it.Phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08250080326099834661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28663723.post-22712498232352233172009-12-29T12:13:31.187-06:002009-12-29T12:13:31.187-06:00I think that all of us go into the New Year, knowi...I think that all of us go into the New Year, knowing that it will be full of changes...some good and some bad!<br /><br />We can't help being just a little depressed about some things, but I think that if we keep the mind set that we will just do as we have always done and deal with it...then things will somehow work out OK!<br /><br />We try and plan for the unknown, find pleasure in the simple things, and keep our head up...all while trying to cover our butts! Kind of exciting in it's own way, isn't it? <br /><br />Hey, you have a very good New Year, my friend!HermitJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13631580830147175636noreply@blogger.com
