At one minute past midnight on July 2 the year 2008 was officially half over. 183 days gone, 183 days to go. To me the completion of another half of a year is a bench mark. It’s a time to look at what has happened in my life so far this year. There's been a lot of things that have happened. My life has changed quite a bit since January 1. I can't begin to mention all of them. That would take a book not a blog post. However I am a man of lists. So here is my list of what I consider to be the top 20 most significant events for me in the first half of 2008.
They are not in any specific order of importance they are all significant to me. Although I did try to put specific events in as much of a chronological order as possible. They aren’t numbered but there are 20 of them.
