Well, I'm preparing for 4 more days off from work. I'll be glad to get back to normal...whatever that is. I used to look forward to a new year with anticipation of a fresh start. After the last few years, I realize it's just another day. Hanging a new calendar on the wall, doesn't change anything. I believe you make your own luck, but I always considered a new year as motivation. Not this year. I'm not putting any stock in the new year. All it means to me is that I have to get used to writing 2008.
