Not all of us are celebrating.

I don't want to rain on your parade,but there are some of us that are going through hardship that you will never imagine.I'll say raise your glasses for those ones less fortunate and wish them the best.

Great point, Raf.

Here's hoping those dealing with hardship hit their stride in 2012.

Great point Raf!

Most of us here at TRF have a lot to be thankful for and are in good health but let's not forget those for whom life is one struggle after another.

I too have a couple good friends going through very hard times, it was a very bad year for many families. They really need a new start, and things aren't looking so great.
Here's to a healthy and prosperous year for all our friends!

I thank you 'figbo' for reminding us about less fortunate people still putting up a great fight for survival. My heart goes out to them. Do let us -TRF members- know if we can collectively do something about bringing a smile back!
