High would be moving into my own place after staying with family for two years following my divorce.
Low would be that week or two that the ex wife and I "enjoyed each other's company"  | |

Low: Watching my workcenter processes fall apart due to a stupid merger. | |

highs: the traveling I've done this year and the meeting all the fabulous people I've met. I've had a LOT of fun.
lows: my mother having cancer, my kitty i had since I was 11 dying, depression getting the better of me towards the end of this summer... overall, it was a really hard year for me. I'm hoping next year is better.  |

Highs:
Finally finding a halfway decent job, after many frustrating months of looking and being turned down. 
The continued health of my family members (let's hope it continues!).
The birth of my little niece, Kaitlynn.
Getting my car paid off.
Lows: Hurricane Katrina and all of the other natural disasters that we've experienced this year. 
My brother moving his family (including my 2 little nephews) out of state, so I don't see them much anymore.
Unemployment, being out of work for many months, running out of employment compensation, draining my bank account just to be able to pay bills/make ends meet.
Not liking where I'm living, wanting so desperately to buy a house, but not being able to afford it financially. [Edited 12/23/05 19:34pm] RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

I'm usually an optimist but I've had very few highs this year. In fact, I can't think of a single one.
Lows: Sister-in-law diagnosed with small cell lung cancer Brother-in-law diagnosed with bowel cancer My own illness, which has been bad this year. I want 2006 to be better. | |
