What a year we have had. So many highs and lows, bumps and bruises, challenges and new places/friends. I'm grateful beyond measure for active rain and cre8buzz and the friends and alliances I have forged. I'm very excited about 2008. I will be single for the first time in 16 years, but this is truly the case of one door closing to allow another to open.

I'm ready to spread my wings and soar. To infinity and beyond, as noted astronaut Buzz Lightyear puts it. I wish the best and brightest for you. Happy New Year!!

I am grateful for so many things it's impossible to count them. I'm grateful for family and friends, for my good health, for my love of music and the written word and so much more. I wish you and yours a very happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks to Antman for this incredible resource. With all of us spreading the word it's bound to be huge. My thanks again to Bill Gassett to turning me on to cre8buzz with his post on activerain. I am so happy to be here.
