2008 has definitely been the better year for me compared to 2007 and I am even more hopeful for 2009 as well! This year has seen me move up to a better job with higher pay, has allowed me to start to make inroads into my personal debts and savings plan; and has opened up a number of really positive opportunities that will hold me in good stead for the future. The last few years have been very tough for me on a number of levels so I am very happy to have a reversal of fortunes like this! 2009 bring it on!

2007 wasn't bad for us, 2008 has been a lot worse. We have struggled a lot more and my husband is going to boot camp soon. So I will be alone the rest of the year,so yeah, it sucks!

I am close to my family - well fairly close. They are about 45 minutes away. His mom is about an hour away. I am really pissed off though, they keep moving his leave date which is making this sooo much harder. Supposedly, he is going to leave tomorrow evening and ship out on Tuesday. However, if his paper work doesn't work out, he may leave Wednesday, if not he will be home Wednesday night..........

I just had my telephone interview today for it, now I have to wait 15 days for a decision, which means I can't pay the internet this month, nor the tv, and I am scared about that.

Hello! For me 2007 was a normal year.There was no diseases or natural calamity around me or the world around like 2008.@008 so far has given us nothing but frustrations.Natural calamities,terrorist activities are in the increasing trend,economic crisis mounting day by day and has reduced our purchasing power.We are not able to afford price for our gas or fuel,food shortage every where.It has taken away smile from everybody's face.thanx.

This year is a hard year for me. My boyfriend and I had a baby. And it's difficult for me to tell to my parents that I am pregnant. It is hard to make my mom accept my boyfriends. She is very much angry with my boyfriend. But thank GOD, as month pass by I think my mom is accepting my boyfriend little by little. And I know she will accept my boyfriend someday.

Last year was one of the best years of my life and this year is totally different, but it is still working out well for me and I am not finding it too difficult. Last year I was not working so I had time to do more interesting things. This year I have not had the time or the money to do much and I have had to focus on making more money. I think life has a way of balancing things out. Each year has good things and bad things in it and getting through the hard times is a challenge. If there were no difficulties or challenges in life I would find it very dull. I have no wish for an easy life. I enjoy life more because I have been able to get through so many hard times.

2007 was very hard for me.. I went through many downfalls during this year. I moved 7 times.. I went through so much... I hated this year.. The details are very aggravating to just tell. 2008, I went through some things, but not as much as 2007..

Well, so far 2008 has been better than 2007 for me. I did not have a good job in 2007 and was so upset. I am a bit relaxed now. I wish it becomes good for you, too.

I dont think any of those were neither too bad, neither too good. Something in between. Emotionlay this year might have been harder on me, bu nothing I cant cope with. I wonder what 2009 will bring...is going to come soon :)
