Who else thinks that 2008 is the worst year of his/her life?

Me.  Medical problems, financial issues ... it was such a hard year.  I've got family, which makes it tolerable ... but still, it felt like the worst year in many ways.

Its been tough but we still have life to be thankful for

Not me!! My family and I are fairly prosperous and in good health and those things are  formost. I will be 73 years old, in April, and have seen and been involved in a lot in those years, both good and BAD. Although the country is in a finanical "Mess" right now, (That's bad) I'm confident that it will recover.

It was bad. I will admit that but it definetely wasn't the worst year of my life.  I actually had alot to be thankful for in 2008.

I agree with you. And the tough keep going! I have so much to be thankful for in my life and, I am!

I think this country will recover too. It is showing some definate possibilities everyday.
