This week brings an end to 2008 and a start to 2009. We may feel excited about the prospects of 2009 and thankful to leave 2008 behind. Getting together with other people before the new year can be invigorating and provide an added impetus to start 2009 on a new footing. Let’s share our thoughts of forthcoming planned changes with kindred souls, and enjoy a respite from our daily routine. We can allow ourselves to revel in the world of possibilities, for this end of year and beginning of the new year is like a blank computer screen…

We might start the week on overwhelm and exhausted, especially if last week knocked us for a loop. If it didn’t, we should count our lucky stars. This week we may be looking to have a good time, enjoy holiday celebrations. Some of the get-togethers could seem more like obligations than fun gatherings.
