Considering how dreadfully it started out, 2012 has turned out to be an amazingly great year for me and my ******. I hope that it was a great year for all of you and that everything goes your way in 2013. Work long & hard to make those things under your control better. No politician, employer, significant other or best friend can do more for you (or against you) than you can do for yourself. Scream Carpe Diem! every single morning and just go for it!!! :nanner:
