Achievement of the Year Although my weight loss adventures have gone a little off-course just lately, I have to say that my proudest achievement of the year is sticking with it in spite of how easy (and tempting) it has been recently to jack it all in.

The year has come to a close. 2008 has been very good to me. I am certainly richer (in more than one aspect) and I am certainly more content with my life. Although I didn’t set out to achieve some of my resolutions made at the beginning of the year, somehow I feel that I gained other stuff which are more meaningful in life. Financially, I’ve gained a better foothold. I switched to my current job in February, and the higher pay allowed me to better prioritize my budget.

Every media outlet is making some sort of top-ten list they believe can sum up the year. We are often entertained by these lists and debate what should or should not be on them.

My journey back through 2008 is Update: Family of woman that went overboard on cruise believes she jumped
(ChattahBox) — The family of Jennifer Ellis-Seitz, the women that went overboard on a luxury cruise ship near Cancun have made a statement. Seitz and her husband, Raymond, were celebrating their one-year anniversary on the Norwegian Pearl cruise ship. Seitz’s mother joined her daughter and son-in-law on the cruise. A surveillance camera showed someone falling overboard wearing a white bathrobe at 8 p.m. Christmas night, authorities said. About eight hours later, Raymond Seitz reported his wife Woman Missing From Cruise Ship.
Jennifer Seitz was a member of Obesity Help, she'd weight loss surgery years ago, and married another post-op. And, OMG! This makes me cringe, in too many ways. Including this fact from The Knot: Interesting fact: Jen has lost 140 pounds, quit a job she was unhappy at, found religion and meeting and falling in love just completed the package!

by Christian Goodman Sadly, years have gone by without contact with some people I was once close too. Life sometimes does that - we get busy and our communication with each other decreases. I was glad though to hear from a friend from “way back.” In catching up, she shared that her husband passed away a couple of years ago. I was broken hearted for her knowing how very difficult it must have been emotionally. She shared too though, that physically she had struggled during that sad time. “My Why New Years Resolutions Fail

by Ed Philips Brown Bag Alcoholic drinks date back thousands of years. Although no one quite knows of their original discovery, it seems likely that they have been a part of history since the beginning. Magnus Huss first coined the word (alcoholism) in 1849, being the first to classify the systematic damage that was attributable to alcohol. The word alcoholism itself was not actually recognized in the US until the late 1930s, through the formation of the alcohol support group known as AlcoholiFree Support
