Welcome, 2009!! It is my expressed wishes that you have a wonderful, glorious, and healthy 2009. However, before we all look ahead, how was your 2008? What were the highlights of the year? For me it was somewhat of a struggle. With the recent death of my son, there were portions of the year that went badly....it's just going to take time. I did have several wonderful things happen to me this year. I taught two new classes at school (Novels and Bible Literature), was appointed to serve on the Pike County Community Foundation Board, and was asked to be the Assistant Athletic Director at PCHS. I enjoyed getting closer to several members of my church this summer when we traveled to New Orleans to do missionary work. I love my church, I don't know what I'd do without them. I continued working on my very close relationships with close friends and family members while enjoying a year of good health. I also broaden my horizons by developing new interests by exploring new and different things in my life. I read more and tried to develop new meaning with life.

As far as resolutions are concerned, I can only say that I hope in 2009 to continue my pursuit of knowledge. I want to continue working on becoming a better teacher, developing a working knowledge in technology/computers, and getting more in touch with God. What are some of your New Years' Resolutions? Whatever they are, I hope they all come true.....Happy New Year.
