The other night my hair dresser said something that expressed exactly how I am feeling too.

"I'm so tired of this year.  It's not like it was bad or anything, but I want it to be finished so I can get on with something new."

I feel like a dark cloud was hanging over 2008, and I was being jostled from one disaster to another.  And maybe that was true, in some ways, but there was also a lot of awesome stuff going down in 2008 too.  Maybe there is a way to turn it around to feel like I was being jostled from one awesome thing to another, interspersed with disaster and melodrama, instead of the other way around.  There's still an entire month left in 2008, and I don't want to spend it just wishing for it to be over.
