		<description>&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m sure I don&#039;t stand alone when I say that 2008 was a very challenging year.  I have some feelings of ambiguity about how I feel about 2008 since it definitely had its ups and downs but I am thankful for the opportunities that came my way in 2008.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Sounds like a rollercoaster year for you!  Here&#039;s to a much smoother 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I&#039;m starting a new job in a few days and hoping that I can juggle it all.  I suspect I&#039;ll have some more gray hairs at the end of 2009.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Happy New Year!  I&#039;m thankful I &quot;met&quot; you online and hope to some day connect in person!&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;Northwestern lost!!?? Oh, no! I always root for them. My mom went there in her freshman year (long story why she didn&#039;t continue after that).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Brad, I think our 2008 sums up the year for many folks. A roller coaster ride. Let&#039;s hope things settle and the economy starts domino&#039;ing the right way to at least ensure we have an uneventful year.&lt;/p&gt;

		<description>&lt;p&gt;All things considered, 2008 was not a banner year. A close friend and a daughter moved farther away (good for them, sad for me), the economy threw me for a loop, my knee fell apart, and to top it off, my alma mater, Northwestern, lost a heartbreaker in the Alamo Bowl last night. Yet ... I have much to be thankful for! 2009 is shaping up as a better year, and I hope that goes for everyone.&lt;/p&gt;
