Despite all the turmoil, we have seen tremendous changes during this decade, including the election of the nation's first African American president. Things can change, and I share that hope with you. Thanks for commenting! Well said J.

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 09:28:01 +0000 http://womenatforty.com/?p=760#comment-236 Thinking back to 99, it seems so silly to hear about Y2K and all the drama related to it. This decade has been rough in many ways, but also hopeful. Terrible natural disasters, the tsunami, Katrina, wild fires. Wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Economic woes not seen in generations, the horrible housing market and economy, and the high unemployment rate. But, there’s always room for hope. Thank God that despite all of this, I'm still here, my family is well, and I’m 10 years wiser. Plus, who would have believed that in this decade, the US would elect the first black president. I’m not 40 yet, but never thought I’d see that day in my lifetime. Things can change and I hope and pray they do. Here's to a better decade!!
