Chappy, I am not sure who could come here and read that and not be inspired and not have hope that what you say will prove true for them.
That's exactly what I mean and exactly the point of my coming back and posting...none of us would have wished this, nor did any of us deserve it. But how we choose to view it, and more importantly, how we choose to respond to it, is entirely up to us.
I wish for everyone here, that tonight, as you look toward 2009, you make this moment the beginning of your new best life.
