In just a few more hours 2007 will be no more. I wanted to be amongst the first to wish you a happy, healthy, peaceful and prosperous New Year.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank you again from the bottom of my heart for the outpouring of love and support that I received from so many of you during what, for me, has been the worst year of my life. You will never know just how much your comments, your e-mails, your cards uplifted me. I have kept every single card and will continue to do so. My family were moved as well and they came to realise what a very special place J-Land is.
So here we are, all perched on the edge of the unknown. Nobody knows what 2008 will bring us. Nobody knows what 2008 will bring to the World. We can only go forward with hope and optimism that this brand New Year will see much better times for everyone and for this planet upon which we live, put our trust in the Lord and keep our faith strong.
I go into 2008 with a little more apprehension than I have done in any other previous turning of the year. That is natural due to my medical appointments in the Spring when I find out if I have my first year "all clear." but I intend to put those to the back of my mind, carry on as normal and pray that all will turn out well.
For those of you suffering from any form of illness my New Year wish for you is that you see great improvements in your health. For all those with family or financial worries I wish an easing of your burdens. Love one another, be kind to one another. Do a good turn for someone whenever you can.
For all of us I wish peace. For the world I wish peace even if it does seem a forlorn hope.
For those of you who will be attending parties, seeing in 2008 with family and friends, have lots of fun.
To our Scottish friends, I wish Happy Hogmanay. Lang may your lum reek.
So, dear friends and readers, Mike, my family and I wish only the best for you all in this brand New Year.
Happy 2008.

Thank you for your New Year wishes, and May you and yours have the very Happiest of New Years too ! Hope is a wonderful thing and we all have hopes and dreams of good things to come. The old year was full of lessons for me and I've tried to learn from them. Now I'll put all that in the past and continue on welcoming each new day as a gift. I do pray for many many blessings upon you and your family ! 'On Ya' - ma
Thank you for your New Year Wishes.
May 2008 bring you and your family good health and peace, and that that the New Year will be better than last.
Love Yasmin

Jeannette, this was a beautiful entry! 2007 was a crappy year for me too and you were one of the J-Landers that inspired me throughout. I don't think I ever thanked you for that. THANK YOU!
I too have medical tests... LOL sooner than yours --Like that pesky spinal tap on Jan 17th, but my new doctor seems to know what he's doing and after the last one and all of last year, he comforts me a great deal. He can do all the sticking and poking and prodding he wants!
I'm feeling very hopeful about 2008 in general despite the unrest going on in parts of the world. I'm excited about our presidential election this year because on both sides of the aisle it's really ANYBODY'S race. It will be exciting to watch and whether a democrat OR a republican wins, we won't have BUSH anymore and I think we'll all be safer in the long run because of it. But my biggest hope is that the world will begin to see the United States as a country full of GOOD PEOPLE rather than merely an arrogant administration.
Best wishes to you and your family. I have a feeling you're gonna have a much better time of it this year than last.
Love,
MJ
HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too...may you have the best 2008 ever...hugs and love,'

You have such a beautiful way with words, thank you for your good wishes. From the bottom of my heart I wish the same for everyone. It has been a hard year with such tremendous losses, thank you Jeanne for alerting us to the J-land Angel site...I think expressing our sorrows and reiminicing about our loved ones will help with a bit of closure....love to you and your family...Sandi
Happy New Year to you and your family. Health, Happiness and Peace to all of you!

Happy New year to you and your family. As you know, I am still very new to J-Land and don't know all the in's and out's of everyone's lives yet. What I have seen is some absolutely fantastic, kind and warm hearted people. Yourself being one of those. I wish you well, healthwise and in every other way aswell for 2008 and beyond. Lots of Love and kisses from Pam and my family. I'm away now to let the "wee lamb" pop some make-up on me! lol Take good care. See you next year. xxx

Hi Jaeannette
All I can say is God is good and he is looking after me today. By God incidence and not coincidence I happened on your journal again today. I am supposed to be in St Albans Herts for a funeral and for many reasons good and bad I am sitting at my computor having lit a candle to sympolise Stephen's life and read from my Bible on my own. I switched on the computor which I wasn't going to do today and got back on your Blog! all the lovely pictures of Jesus my Sheperd and the light of the World have so calmed my soul.
A friend phoned me up and now happening on your writing may seem pretty minor to others but I am not alone, God cares.
Love and prayers
Rose
