Making 2009 a fulfilling year

"2009 may not be fine," Karen's sms read, "but we will still surely be divine."

Today many of us will ask this question: "What are we planning for the year ahead?"

I am looking forward with joy and excitement and anticipation; though with the doom and gloom in the news, there is a temptation to raise the white flag of surrender.

Looking back on 2008, I reflected last night if I had intended to write one life story and now sadly realise that I have written another, or not.

It is not too late. We may have been beset by fear and pain and doubts in 2008 but I never let myself get turned away from my goals.
