The coming of a new year

Well the holiday's have come and gone, and The New year is just days away. Its hard to believe how fast the year has gone, by leaving us with memories to carry us through the next year. Six years ago , the year 2000 was considered the New Millennium , also known to some as The Millennium Meltdown, a time when many people were convinced the end of time was at hand. A millennium ago, back in the year 999, people had only hourglasses and sundials to help them count down to the day they feared would bring their Final Judgment and, no doubt, an eternity in hell. Preparing for the End of the World, But when the 10th Century dawned, followed a year later by the debut of the Second Millennium in 1001, the world was still there and it was life as usual. I suspect five years from now, or even ten years from now, life wont be too much different than it is today. Oh, I suspect we'll probably have more natural disasters and taxes, and high prices to stress us out each month. But hey, what's new? Seems like uncle Sam always gets his share of the wealth. For once I wish they'd consider the little people. I say stop taking our money with high price healthcare and give us a break. Surely my life has got to get better eventually. But until that happens, I wish you all a very Happy New Year!
