I especially miss my parents, but I was blessed with a very good 2014 and I pray for an equally blessed 2015.

Yes always. Miss my parents and miss all the dancing I did before I messed up my back. But thankful for my husband, children and grandchildren!

When I think of all I have lost - wonderful parents and grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins, my brother who died in Viet Nam and my very dear first husband who just simply left me too soon - I try to tell myself that I was so fortunate to have had them in the first place and that many others do not ever have anyone wonderful in their lives.

I lost one of my sisters on the second day of 2014, so I suppose I should be feeling this way. But I've noticed that as the years go on and life is always changing, it's become just another night.

I miss my parents. My father died last year. 2014 was not a good year for me. I had sibling issues, broke my foot and lost my job. I am looking forward to leaving 2014 behind and looking ahead to a better life in the new year.

I faced my challenges and have found more strength than I ever knew. But, that being said, 2014 made me sad and afraid. I pray that the new year will be one of good moments and new beginnings.

Best wishes to all of you!

Not sure exactly why but I never really liked New Years Eve.When I was a kid it meant Christmas vacation was about over, now it reminds me how fast the year went by.

I did not feel like that last night, but I am feeling rather melancholy today.

Its certainly not because I will miss 2014, because actually it was not a good year for me and/or my family.

I do ponder about what this new year may bring for me and my family and friends. I pray for good things -- health, happiness and prosperity.

I am feeling rather down as I am sad that the holidays are over. I had a particularly wonderful and beautiful Christmas and holiday season. I so hate for all of it to be over. Now, I also have to think about tackling the un-dressing of the house and putting away all of my special decorations. So much work, but that's not the worst of it. The house looks so bare and now I feel like there's not much to look forward to but a long cold, snowy winter.

I know I am blessed in many ways and I'm not feeling sorry for myself. It just takes me some time to adjust to reality again!

Thinking of New Year's past and the family and friends that are gone..!

Yes - a beloved cousin died December 30. Our mothers were sisters, and last year her mother, my aunt died at Thanksgiving - she was the last remaining relative from that generation and I now have no more grandparents, parents or aunts and uncles. Her death is the first now hitting my generation.

Thinking of what the year ahead will doubtlessly hold is overwhelming to me. My mother is in very poor health, and I look ahead to difficult days of hospitalization, hospice, her eventual death, and settling her legal affairs. I am just going to take things one day at a time. It is depressing to know on January 1st that it is going to be a hard year! Hope it's a great year for everyone else!
