Default 2011 vs. 2012

For those of you who had a bad year last year and hope 2012 is going to be better. Well... it's NOT!

Here's the deal, Every year people are going to get sick and die,. We won't be able to afford everything we want and bad things are going to happen. The point is, spend more time thinking about all the AWESOME things that happen to you and you might be surprised to find 2011 was pretty damn good and then.... and only then.... can you see how 2012 will be better!

Love you all... Happy New Year!

We at least are getting a 3.6% pay increase for next year. Of course, everything has gone up in price by at least 4%.

I'm a believer that things are what you make of them. If you feel 2011 stunk and 2012 will probably be worse, then it probably did....and it probably will. Conversely, if you thought 2011 wasn't all that bad and are looking forward to a good 2012, then you'll probably be a happy camper!

Things can always be better..........but they can also be worse. It's all a matter of what perspective you choose to take!

Enjoy!!

Bill

Default Exactly!

Your year is going to be what you make it. Bad things are going to happen. Focus on the good, have fun, don't look back... keep looking forward!

Make it a GREAT year! :MOJE_whot :

Path'etic? Or was that supposed to be Poetic? {scratch-scratch-scratch) Anyway, watch out for the snakes along that path you're not walking on!

Exactly!!! You hit the nail on the head. We are more in charge of our fate then most people believe.

Default Forward

Angiefox

It's gotta be good we sign on our new home January 10th and 2011 brought us the opportunity to do that. So Bill your right

I love that name Forward! Maybe cause I'm a CarGuy maybe cause it's my last name! Of course my students call me Mr. Reverse if they like me. Other names if not!

Had a Uncle run for Mayor once, "Forward Means Progress" Still have the button.

So I'm looking Forward to moving to TV. I hope it means progress!
