Climate change has always worried me. But like everyone else, or should I say, the majority of us (I am sure there must be someone out there who considers the future of the planet in their everyday life), I stumble on not taking care of the environment seriously. But it does worry me that we are storing up terrible problems for future generations with our selfishness and lethargy. Is Obama the man who can make things happen, I would dearly love to think so, but I am sorry to say I have major doubts.
It is the first of January 2009, A time when traditionally we take stock of our lives….and make resolutions for our future. After due consideration what I wish for in the new year is that it is as happy and as fulfilling as 2008.
I hate to sound ’smug’ but it was an amazing year for me. I got to spend quality time with my three beautiful children (forgive me guys!) I had the opportunity to be reminded why I married my lovely husband (enough said!!) We built our dream house, I lost 2 stone in weight and regained a degree of physical fitness, made some lovely new friends and strengthened ties with some old ones.
KC reminds me that not everything went our way, so probably the most important thing I gained last year was the ability to deal with what happens, take some responsibility for it and to get on with life as best I can..
So whatever 2009 has in store for me I will endeavor to be positive……and that is to be my new year resolution!
