Well, the new year has arrived. I rang it in in my dreams, as I was in bed and sound asleep well before midnight. Actually, my neighbors woke me with their firecrackers and revelry, but that's cool, after all, it was New Year's Eve!
It seems all I heard this week while listening to those year end shows was how miserable everyone is, what a horrible year it has been, and how happy everyone is that 2008 has ended.
I have a 401k, and fortunately I won't be needing it for a number of years, allowing it to grow again. All in all, though, as I listened to everyone complain I kept remembering all the things I have to be grateful for and the good things that happened to me in 2008.
You might know by now that I am one of those 'the glass is 1/2 full' kinda gals, and at times I can be downright annoying with my 'look on the bright side' attitude. What good is accomplished by complaining and forgetting the good things? Yup, we're in trouble in a few areas, the future is uncertain, I get that. Millionaires were made in the depression, however, and there are a number of opportunities available to those who will think about things differently.
Ronald Reagan said 'Entrepreneurs are the forgotten heroes of America.' I'm looking forward to seeing how many of those entrepreneurs, (I'm including myself here), are ready to make 2009 their best year ever!
