Dear flist.

Though we've all had our own hard times during 2008, it's now behind us, with a fresh window of opportunity waiting before us. We just have to draw the curtains away, open that window and let the breeze blow our hair back.

2009 may not be everything we expect or everything we want. There will be hard times and times where we'll struggle. But there will be good times.

And no matter what the outcome, know this: I'll be there for each and every one of you, regardless of your situation, surroundings or opinions.
You all mean something to me, in your own unique way.

Your personality. Your support. Your own special talent, whether it be your writing skills, your artistic skills, or even the skill you used to worm your way into my life!

2009 holds something for each of us- now is the time to embrace that and hold hands (even if it's through the net 'cause some of you are just too far away!) and take each step slowly, hand in hand with me.

I love you all dearly! And I mean all of you- know matter how long I've known you. You've all imprinted yourself, some way or another, in my life and without you, I wouldn't be the person I am.

Thank you all for everything you've done for me and everything you mean to me!

Lot's and LOT'S! of love and warm wishes for 2009,

Lisa
