Goodbye to one of the best years in history
I wish I could say that 2014 has been one of my best years, but the article makes a lot of good points. So here's to 2014, I hope it was a good year for all of you.

The whole sentence that changes that? "DEPENDING ON WHERE YOU LIVE!"
If you're in the South? In the U.S.? Yeah, you're safe, well-fed, and businesses have FLOCKED here...
N.E.? SCREWED!

Sorry, worst year of my life - lost my wife to a bad heart in June and my 95 year old mother last week. Can't wait for 2015 as it has to be better than 2014!

Tom , you're in my prayers brother. 2014 was horrible. I don't think 2015 has anything but opportunity at this point.
And hope is a good thing, maybe the best thing, and no good thing every really fades.

Amazing how life can take sudden and unexpected turns. While still grieving the loss of my dear wife, a lady sat next to me in a pub in January and we started chatting. Turns out she lost her husband of 35 years last year as well, just unexpectedly died in his sleep. The more we talked the more we found we had in common, to a point where it was eerie. To make a long story short, we are getting married in two weeks. We are still in awe.

Which reminds me of a joke.
Wife, I want to divorce!
No, you took me as widow, you have to let me as widow!
