Hard Times - Hard Questions

I find that during difficult times, the truth is told. Suffice it to say, I sent 2008 out with a "see you, wouldn't want to be you" sentiment.

Here are several things I learned...
Strength comes from the least expected places.

Friendships prove themselves under the weight of the world.

Even those who appear strongest, need help at times.

Those whom you thought you could count on, often crack under pressure.

Fair weathered friends are sometimes just not equipped to handle life's challenges, but it doesn't make them evil.

When you have a life preserver floating next to you, in the form of a dear friend, or a kind stranger, you generally don't need to use it. But, knowing it's there, is often enough to keep you from drowning.

It's imperative to thank EVERYONE who pitches in, in whatever manner they are able.

If you are lucky enough to be alive, you still have to live, have fun and enjoy the gifts of the day.

No stressing allowed on Friday through Sunday. Stress deserves a weekend too.
