1. My daughters find satisfaction, and a sense of pride in both work, and school throughout this upcoming year. I am very proud of all three.

2. Matthew and I will finally get to take a real vacation together in 2010 or at the very least we get a nice summer since we barely had one in 2009.

3. My friends who are sick or in pain have their health restored, and find peace, and happiness within their lives.

4. A larger zoo for my fur babies ...ok and us humans too!

5. That sanity will prevail, and that people will start taking climate change seriously despite the failure of Copenhagen. If people would only remember this Native saying, "We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors....we borrow it from our children," we would be in much better shape.

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas (if you celebrate), and a Happy Prosperous New Year!
