Well, that's it - 2008 is finished,

 fini, τελικού, gotowy, terminado, finito!

I just wanted to send out my wishes to everyone in the wwe universe - I hope everyone had a wonderful year and will enter the new year  full of dreams, aspirations, and hope.

Here's to a successful, inspired and joyful 2009!

Oh, and yes, of course, I also hope it is full of Stratusfaction, it is Stratusfying, you are Stratusfied - and also ...

May you get a clean bill of health from your dentist, your cardiologist, your gastro-enterologist, your urologist, your proctologist, your podiatrist, your psychiatrist, your plumber and the I.R.S. and C.R.A

May your hair, your teeth, your butt, your abs and your stocks not fall; and may your blood pressure, your triglycerides, your cholesterol, your white blood count and your mortgage interest not rise.

May New Year's Eve find you seated around the table, together with your beloved family and cherished friends. May you surround yourself with those you love and appreciate everything at its simplest level. May your food be yummier (maybe more organic), the environment cleaner,  and the pleasure much more fulfilling than anything else you might ordinarily do that night.

May what you see in the mirror delight you, and what others see in you delight them. May someone love you enough to forgive your faults, be blind to your blemishes, and tell the world about your virtues.

May this year be your personal best, with you taking control of your destiny, going after your dreams, and reaching for the Stratusphere. May it be your healthiest, eating what is good for you and remembering it is all about balance and you are what you eat. May you be the best 'YOU' you can be - do some yoga, go for a walk, talk care of yourself to live life to its fullest.


And may we live in a world at peace and with the awareness of God's love in every sunset, every flower's unfolding petals, every baby's smile, every lover's kiss, and every wonderful, astonishing, miraculous beat of our heart.

Here we go ... which one are you:

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.
