Today, East Tennessee bloggers are talking about saying goodbye to 2007 and ringing in 2008:
From Rich Hailey:
New Beginnings
Somewhere during the last 5+ years of doing this, I started to think it was important. I began to take it very seriously, working hard to research posts, trying to build solid arguments to make a strong case for my point of view.And it stopped being fun.
I want to bring the fun back.
So there will be some changes here…
From Cathy at Domestic Psychology:
We have had a roller coaster year. The highs outnumbered the lows and it was a good ride. Tomorrow we board a new roller coaster. Yes, there will be lows. There might even be loops. It’s still better than a year on a carousel.
From Nine Months
And Jon Hickman:
2008 is inherently cooler than 2007, of course, because 7 is an odd number, and, um, 2008 are all even numbers.
From MamaTried:
I have decided that my New Years resolution is to try and recognize when I feel envy and to let it go and more importantly to try and be content with my own lot in life and believe in my own choices and decisions. … My second resolution for this year is to bathe the dogs more often but not so confident about this one.
From David Oatney:
My Catholic readers should be reminded in the midst of all of this celebration that today, January 1 (the Eighth Day of Christmas), is the Solemnity of Mary, the Mother of God. It is a Holy Day of Obligation, so please find time to get to Holy Mass today. If you can find time for the champagne but can’t find time for the Lord today, your priorities are not where they ought to be.
Only 385 more days until the End of an Error. Only 308 days until we find out who gets to clean up the mess.
From 10,000 Monkeys
And Left of the Dial, who quotes a New York Times article:
Over the past decade and a half, psychologists have studied how regrets — large and small, recent and distant — affect people’s mental well-being. They have shown, convincingly though not surprisingly, that ruminating on paths not taken is an emotionally corrosive exercise. The common wisdom about regret — that what hurts the most is not what you did but what you didn’t do — also appears to be true, at least in the long run.
How true. It’s a great article. I suggest giving it a read and here’s to a happy 2008 to everyone.

And Michael Silence:
n 2008, the KNS will continue to endorse candidates.
Considering the trend over the last several years, this could very well be the year candidates come by the office to ask not to be endorsed.
