Happy New year



Another year flies by. It seems like just yesterday I was doing this entry for 2009. Now it is 2010. Wow, 10 years past Y2K. Remember that? A whole decade has past since then.

I looked back in my journal to see which of my predictions had come true. Unfortunately many of my dire predictions happened. We have been attacked in our country. Taxes have soared. Unemployment is so high I think everyone knows someone who has been laid off. The corruption in this new government I admit went even beyond my fears. Government takeovers. Tax evasions, czars, ACORN, the Global warming hoax, stimulus money given to non-existent Congressional districts. it just boggles the mind.

I had 3 surgeries this year and the only one that isn't still bothering me is the one on my face where the cancer was removed. I made less, rode my bike less and worried about America's future more.

But. I got to see my wonderful grandchildren, we are all alive and well, arthritis and all and I have a roof over my head and food in my tummy. And it is a new year. My family is all well.

I think the elections will be interesting this year. Hopefully not to many dead people will vote and the country has been woken up enough to stop in its track the direction the country is going. We realize that the government is not listening to us or acting in our best interest. Time to get rid of the old and dangerous and put in some people who do what they are suppose to do. Protect us and not tax us to death.

Ben Stein quoted his dad in an article. It said. "Benjy, the whole point of America is that we all live better then we did anywhere else; the Blacks, the Asians, the Irish, the Germans...... It is true. If we don't let his government accomplish what they have set out to do. Make your vote count. Take back our country.

I work tonight at 11. We are eating at our son's today. Our dinner planned at Christmas. Zoey is doing slightly better. And as always it is snowing off and on. But the sun is shining on a new year. Lets make it a good one.
