Question of the Day - 12/31/07

[Refugee 7]

The holiday season is just about over. How well did you survive? What will you do differently in 2008? What have you learned about yourself in 2007?

[Echosoftom 3]

I think I survived pretty darn well. I didn't overspend or overdo it and I got everyone exactly what I wanted to get them. If I do anything differently hopefully it's going to be taking better care of myself. As for what I've learned about myself...My patience with foolishness is wearing thin!

[Flower 0]

I think I have survived just fine. The first thing that comes to mind, I need to be tighter with the money.

[WildflowerNJ 136]

I loved it all. I have learned I am stronger than I thought I was....

I survived! Next year I'd like to start preparing earlier, but I think I say that every year. What did I learn about myself in 2007? I'm going to be JUST FINE no matter what happens.

As I am getting older I am more tolerant with myself (there are hiccups at times) but I am getting there. I don't overdo things as I used to. Do so much before the guests arrived that I couldn't wait until they were gone.... I was so knackered (does it mean tired too in the US?) by then.

I just take things as they come now and enjoy life as a gift. (whole bit sounds a bit pompous:003: but that's how it feels).

As odd as it may be...as I grow older the Byrds song "turn, turn, turn" becomes more understandable. There is a "time" for everything...good and bad. This past year has been the most horrible year in my life, and yet I'm still here. All the good things pale to the one bad thing. And there are times when I think I want to "check out".....but there is always someone's love that pulls me back. Don't know where I'll be in 2008......but I'm praying that the justice that I deserve will come through and those responsible for the horrible act against me will be prosecuted to the full extant of the law !

I survived and I think I will try to prepare earilier next year.

Holidays are easy to survive... It's the other part that's hard.

I don't think I learned anything that I didn't know before.

[Pettyjunkie 0]

I'm most definitely preparing for the holidays a lot earlier. I don't think I really learned anything insightful about myself this year.

[wild1forever 152]

I enjoyed the holidays this year, and actually didn't get caught up in the stress.

Ha! Very wise, Ames!

[Refugee 7]

I survived, but then again, I didn't do anything this year outside of my family. This holiday was very hard for me for some reason.

As for 2008, I just hope it's better than 2007 was.

I survived pretty well, actually. I got my shopping done early, and we put the decorations up right after Thanksgiving so we could enjoy the holidays. I think this year was pretty much perfect.

[PumpkinBumpkin 1]

I survived well! I can't wait for this new year..I'm so excited for the future.

I think the holidays went well. Spent time with the people who mean the most. Had all my baking all everything done over Thanksgiving - even wrapped the gifts then so there was no pressure. Barf Boy's bday was the 27th so we went to San Antonio to watch Penn State vs. Texas A&M in AlamoBowl. Had a party last night for friends in town from Oregon. All in all, it was great. I think depression might be sinking in as I think about how much I don't want to go back to work on Wednesday. I love spending the days with Barf Boy, waking when I want, and not having all the travel and work pressures closing in around me. Will not leave house from now until then and savor every moment left.

How well did you survive?

I'm still here but a little wearier. Definately running out of steam.

What will you do differently in 2008?

I don't know. One day at a time. Make a doctors appt.

Start shooting up heroin. (only kidding)

What have you learned about yourself in 2007?

That I am not the most positive person in the world. LOL.

[agirl 0]

I survived, but I'm glad it's over. Next year I'm going to start earlier and for the new year I'm going to try and walk several times a week and eat better.

[Yuppie 0]

The holiday season is just about over. How well did you survive? I did really good. I spent time with my family some that I haven's seen in years. I hope to change that.

What will you do differently in 2008? Make sure I see my Grandpa during the holidays. I have one on my dads side.

What have you learned about yourself in 2007? I am smarter than I think I am accidemicaly.
