Well compared to 2008, this year wasn't quite as bad. Actually 2008-2010 have had several bad things to either happen to me or to someone close to me. In Dec. of 2009 I learned that my Sunny had cancer. He had to be put to sleep in late Feb. 2010. Both of my parents have been in poor health and they're taking a lot of medications. It's just so hard to see this.

A friend of mine who had Guillain Barre Syndrome a few years ago has now been diagnosed with CIDP which is a chronic version of Guillain Barre Syndrome. She started out with numbness in her legs and now it's spread to her hands and back. There's no known cure for this horrible disease. She currently on disability.

I do have many positive things though. I adopted 2 adorable orange & white kittens and they've really helped me through the passing of both my Sunny and Starr. I think that Sunny sent Blaze to me and Starr sent Alani to me because I can see some of their personalities/mannerisms in each of these boys.

I still have my job even though it's more stressful than ever and I have to work even harder to make the same amount of money that I used to before July 2009. I still have my health,home,health insurance, and enough food to eat. I hope that 2011 will be a much better year for everyone and that the economy will also start to really show more of an improvement.
