Farewell to 2008!
Current mood: happy

Well, just to write a little since the year is about to draw to a close and seems appropriate. It's been a year with some ups and downs, but mostly ups! I can't complain. It was the year that I turned 40 and wasn't too thrilled about it, but thanks to many wonderful friends, it wasn't TOO painful for me and we had a good time doing it! Hell, I got to celebrate my birthday 6 times in 2 days! Who can complain about that?!? lol Ended the year with a BANG with the last Forget-Me-Not show on Saturday! We had a wonderful time and completely packed the house! Had fun afterwards, too! Anyway, I just know that I am truly blessed with the good friends and family in my life. I've got some of the best around and hope to maintain those friendships for many more years to come. Of course, my family is ALWAYS stuck with me! haha Anyway, if you've got that (good friends and family), you can get through anything! I firmly believe that if you enter into everything with the right attitude and intentions, and believe in yourself, there's nothing that you can't accomplish! Life throws you curveballs all the time and nothing is quite what you ever expect, like a rollercoaster, BUT you just keep plugging away, believe that you CAN do whatever, try to stay positive and optimistic, and surround yourself with good people....that's what's going to carry you through life with sanity and happiness. Everything is what you make of it. Anyway, here's looking towards an even better year in 2009! 2008 was good and 2009 will be even BETTER...whatever it may bring!

P.S. Oh, and here's the video that I just put together for Forget-Me-Not. It features an original song by hit songwriter (I believe he has 10 number 1 hits under his belt), Stewart Harris given to use for the series, some educational information about Alzheimer's to heighten awareness and then live footage from the most recent show at the Bluebird on Dec. 27th where we sold it out! Nothing but standing room only, people lined up all around the walls and door! It was awesome! Wonderful night of music! :) If you want to post it on your profiles, send a bulletin out about it or anything. I would LOVE that! Just want to continue getting the word out about the series and heighten awareness about this awful disease.
