A toast to the New Year!!!!

Well its' finally 2009. 2008 is now a mere recollection of memories, both good and bad. It is the beginning of a new year and with that we all have our hopes and dreams about what it may bring us. There are many serious things that we are keeping a close eye on such as the economy, a new president, the weather, etc. We also have some less global and more personal ones such as keeping our jobs, or finding a new one, being with the family, enjoy good health, etc. Whatever it is I hope that you and your close ones have a great year and fulfill all your dreams and resolutions. Here are some things that I hope come to pass and some of my new year's resolutions and expectations.

1. I hope this year people will be responsible, positive thinkers, and will try to make their house a little better, and that in turn will make a better neighborhood, and so on until this world is a little better.

2. I hope that people realize that a president cannot solve everything and that we all have to make this a better country. With that said I hope the new president will be a decent one and will do whatever it's truly best for the country.

3. I hope this year will see at least 5 to 10% less violence than the previous one. Asking for absoute peace would be fantasizing.

4. I hope this year I can do more exercise and eat less junk food.

5. I hope I keep getting good grades in school or at least not get bad ones.

6. I hope i can see all my family members and friends and enjoy their company.

7. I hope this year all my friends and relatives and anyone who needs a job gets one (including me).

8. I hope i don't get sick and if I do hopefully it won't be serious.

9. I hope no major disasters will occur in the world and if they do mininal casualties should occur.

10. I hope this year will be awesome!!!!

And you, what do you hope or expect from this year?
