So 2008 was a difficult, tragic and scary year for many, and experts are warning that 2009 may not be a joy, either. But the good thing about a New Year is we can all start fresh. So let’s focus on the minute, hour, and week and….in the end….we may find that 2009 is not as bad as some feared and that the hopes raised by a new year weren’t unrealistic ones.
The BEST to you and yours from all of us here at TMV.
