I'm a natural pessemist (to my shame), but I can still freeload on the optimism of others, so tell me of your hopes for the coming year and the things you expect to go right!

With you on the first two Sarge and really pleased you're considering the third. Good dog owners should have dogs and the rescue centres are full to overflowing with poor guys who drew the short straw first time round.

Happy New Year Watchers.
I don't bother with hopes for a new year.
Whatever happens will happen regardless of what I hope.
Que sera, sera.

I find it serves to provide me with a degree of equilibrium, not to say equanimity, that does me well.

Had an old friend (now dead) who used to quote "I have learned in whatsoever situation I find myself therein to be content": he lived by it as well.

If you can't be happy where you are, you won't ever be.

That's something my dad might have done.
(I actually saw him pull his own tooth once, but it was a broken one. )
