2009 is finally here. We look forward to what this year will bring us at the same time we arm ourselves with the many life lessons learned from the year that was 2008.
Yes, we may still have hang-ups or emotional baggage but this year, we tell ourselves that we will do everything better than last year.
What are you looking forward to in 2009?

2008 was a special year for me.
The children had less sickness and we all learned a lot about each other as we spend more time at home due to gas price increase. Now that the prices are lower, we resume going back to our Sunday activities.
There are so many things to be thankful for, be these negative or positive.
I have just written a while ago,
being grateful is a big thing, because when you are, you still see these things as blessing and life lessons to be learned
Career-wise was still the same and if truth be told, I have had some painful moments to keep me company but I will not dwell on these moments.
I am thinking of taking some risks since I feel I have been complacent for long.
My online activities became better. I have created two more blogs including this one where I was able to write topics that may not interest others but I have written things that came from my heart.
Virtual friends became good personal friends with a common goal: to help other mothers like us in the never-ending quest to become better at what we do.
Christmas has come and gone but the memories are still fresh.
We posted about ways on how we could possibly spend a Frugal Christmas without sacrificing quality.
We shared about Christmas traditions.
We shared our fondest memories of Christmas when we were younger.
So now the Weekly Question asks:

Just a few more days to go before the big day comes. You know what I mean, Christmas.
For everyone in the world celebrating this special day, they have traditions old and new, that they practice when celebrating this special day.

I have already written a post for Weekly Question early today.
I don’t know why I didn’t publish it and I dilly-dallied and decided I will do so at night. Well, who would have thought there was a reason for this.
We went to hear mass in a different church today. The people were getting a bit finicky when it was already past 15 minutes when the mass hasn’t started yet. Well, it did finally.
The homily was about being happy, feeling happy, feeling joy during this Christmas season.
The priest gave a very short homily about this topic especially about spending Christmas amidst global crisis.
He asked pointed questions: Is Christmas about the gifts? food? happy parties?
He further discussed tragedies, both personal and universal in nature that occurred before and after this special day.
Before he ended his short homily, he asked this question that I am going to ask you too:
Are you happy?
