My hopes for 2008
December 30th, 2007
I know that the trend these days is to establish goals for 2008 and to write about them. I’ve read some interesting articles about goals for 2008. But with my kid running, jumping and yelling around me, is a little hard for me to establish some clear goals for the next year. So, until I’ll find a little quiet time for myself to establish my goals, I want to write what are my hopes for 2008.
1. I hope my mother will be healthier
My mother had a stroke on March 9th, 2007. The rest of the year she spends her time immobilized in bed. She was half paralyzed and she needs to make many exercises to recover her arm and her leg. But after a month from her stroke, she want to make us a surprise and she try to arise alone from bed. She fall down and she twisted her ankle very bad. After that she made a bad depression and she didn’t want to do something anymore. She just slept and cries. Now, she walks very rare and very hard. And from a very powerful, cheerful and ambitious woman she turns in a very depressive one, who doesn’t want to do anything. I want my mother back!
2. I hope my son’s balance will be better
My son falls down very often. He hasn’t a good balance. He falls down even when he is standing. He also walks on his toes and he walks like he is groggy. And, of course, he is hitting very often. Many doctors said to us that the walker was the cause for all these. But we meet a doctor who said that the reason for all these is the fact that he was born with the umbilical cord around his neck and his part of brain responsible with the movement function wasn’t irrigated well. I really hope that with many exercises things will go better. Otherwise, he is a burly kid; he’s very smart, very beautiful and very cheerful. He is the sun of my life!
3. I hope my marriage will be better
My husband and I are married 18 years now. A lifetime! But in the last years we argue very often and I’m really tired of all this fights. Both of us are explosive and our altercations are really terrible. I hope, for the sake of my son, to be able to communicate one to each other better and more peacefully. We had spent some great years together. I want those years back!
4. I hope I could buy a little house with a big backyard
Well, I said it! I want a little house with a big backyard somewhere to the mountain, so I can go there with my family on holydays. Just right now, we spend our holidays in our apartment in a city and we haven’t too much money to go somewhere else on holidays. I want to see my son running and jumping and yelling and breathing fresh air while I’m blogging on my porch 
5. I hope days will have 25 hours a day
This year was a tough year for me. Carrying my mother, trying to find out what is wrong with my son’s feet, fighting with my husband, running my little business, blogging… Damn, the day is too short for me. Even if I was sleeping 3-4 hours a night, the day still was too short. I hope 2008′s days will be much longer so I could have time to do all I have and all I want to do.
Since I’m an introvert person, you should know that open my heart to you is quiet difficult to me. But this is my fight with me: to be more open with my friends. This would be my 6th hope.
What are your hopes for 2008? What are your deepest wishes?

I do hope some of the problems you have encountered in 2007 will smooth themselves out for you in 2008.
As for me, my wish for 2008 is for myself and my loved ones to maintain good health. Without our health nothing else is worth anything..
Happy New Year Diana

Thanks! I hope this too. And I hope that all your wishes will become true
Happy New Year!
I hope all your wishes will be achieved. Last year, one of my new year goals was to be a better and loving wife. I’ve been married 22 years. I believed I achieved it because for 2008, my husband’s goal is to be a loving husband. hehe, the tables are turned.

Hi Diana! I feel sorry for you. Do you know that i’m thinking for 5 minutes saying thing in my head to say something but i guess i won’t say it because it would be too long. actually there are lot of thing i can say to let you understand something about life. i thought i want to share something about my life how i handle things. but i guess maybe i just say something short.
Just focus to give others more than you receive then you will find happiness. IMO giving without expecting any return from other is the best feeling you could ever had in this world even it sometime could make you cry. But to give more to others we have to have things. and giving is not just to some close family or friends but to everybody we came across. if we have thing to share we share. If people don’t share with us just don’t worry about it. it would take time to do that because it involve your hearts. so you need to train your heart with the direction from a positive mind.
I hope that would help a bits. i believe you would handle it just fine. There are lot of good people on the net that is willing to lay a hand whenever you need help. And you are right letting things out could make a big different.
Well Happy New Year. Wish you success in 2008 in everything you do and achieve whatever hope you have.
Hi Diana, I admire you for being honest and strong in your post. It takes a lot of courage to post something like this. Happy new year, and I wish you and your family all the best this 2008.

@noemi: Thanks! Yes, it’s funny how your tables are turned
@nimrodjo: Unfortunately, I’m an atheist. And I say unfortunately, because I’m sure that in many situations it has been easier for me if I believed in a supernatural power. And I’m an atheist though I went 18 years to a catholically church with my grandmother, my best friends are Christians and I celebrate all the Christians events. But what can I say, that’s me … I’ve also baptized my son, who knows, maybe he will believe in God.
@redspace: Please don’t feel sorry for me. I just had a tough year. I’m sure things will go better. And I’m that kind of person who gives a lot without expecting anything in exchange. And I’m very optimistic too, but sometimes, I feel a little depressed, like in this end of year.
@Saedel: Thanks! Yes, it takes me a while to open my heart to you. But I’m glad that I did it, because I feel better now, especially with your support.
Thank you all and best wishes for 2008!
Very unfortunate indeed Diana but I’ll pray in behalf of you…you see, when praying to my Jesus (the one that you called supernatural power), I can pray for other well being…so, being your blogger buddy, it will be my pleasure to pray for you and your son…I pray that both of you may come to know Him…Have a tremendous year ahead…will be here for the rest of the year…u can count on it..

Diana,
I just want to say that I’m impressed and I would like to congratulate you for staying positive, despite these problems. It would be wrong to say that I went through something comparable, but I did almost lose my left arm in an accident and had to work for 7 months straight to recover my movement with it. Now I’m a content writer, using both hands! It took a lot of ambition and if you can spark that in your mother again, I think it might help.
Good luck with number 4, you deserve it! And I think we all deserve no. 5.
My goals for 2008
1. Reaching $2,000 per month from my AdSense websites
)
2. Getting an average of 9 in college marks so I am eligible to teach
3. Firing up my design/SEO company and settling in a larger office
4. Going back to 70 kg (10 to go
5. Learning CSS, PHP and French
Thanks for your kind words and I’m sorry for the problems with your arm. Congrat that you have the strength to recover it.
I like your goals for 2008 and I wish you good luck with them. Maybe you teach me how you reach the number 1
I’m just working at the blogging goals post but I think I’ll finish it next week when my kid will start the kindergarten
I’m just 1/4-way to #1 but I’m launching 10 new sites this February that will all be monetized with AdSense and I have a couple of leads that I really think will make me that much (my brother is in the same niche and he’s making close to 5 figures)
Congrats on your kid going to kindergarten! I bet it will be hard for you having to let him go for a couple of hours per day
Good luck!
P.S. I’m Tudi from Seopedia btw
Good luck than! I should try this too.
My kid is in the middle group, so I’m used to this
PS. I know that from your first comment
May all your dreams come true and you get whatever you wished for in the coming year. Wish you and your family good health, prosperity and happiness.
