Happy New Year!

I hope every one who reads this little blog has a very happy new year. I plan on making 2009 a great year. In the past few months, I've been trying (very hard) to change my outlook on life. I want to be an optimist. (A optimistic attorney, you say...isn't that like a happy mortician?) Anyway, I don't want to be a cynic or a pessimist anymore; so I've been "practicing optimism." In keeping with my optimistic goal, I have to think that the stock market and the economy will turn around, that Obama's presidency won't be the start of a socialist America, and that we'll be able to keep the terrorists from attacking inside our borders. I have faith that the sun will come up, the zombies will be kept at bay, and that tomorrow will be another day. So...to all my compatriots in the "blog-o-sphere," have a very happy 2009 and keep thinking happy thoughts. Who knows maybe you, too, can fly like Tinkerbell....

Christmas Eve Thoughts

On this Christmas Eve, I'd like to wish all of you who read this blog a very merry Christmas. May you find joy and happiness during this Season, and all year long. As you celebrate with family or friends, please take the time to remember those who serve in your prayers and send them good wishes. There are Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, and Coasties who cannot spend the Holidays with their families or friends because they're serving our Nation in places far, far away. There are also our "first responders," the firemen, emergency medical technicians, and members of the law enforcement community who won't spend the day with those important to them, because they're on duty...just in case. So, on this Christmas Eve, I wish you all a very happy and merry Christmas, and I pray for the safety of those who serve.
