Happy New Year

Happy New Year to you all. Just a quick thought that goes beyond the usual new year messages. The last decade has seen many close family and personal changes for me. I've been close at hand to weddings but also divorces. I've welcomed new arrivals to the family, but also felt the difficulty in letting go those that have departed. In the last decade I've reached many major milestones; like getting a degree, marrying and having a son.

On a wider scale, we've seen amazing leaps in technology yet witnessed religion causing much angst and strife around the world, especially in the form of terrorism and ongoing war.

However, if we think really hard - really really hard - we should realise that the good outweighs the bad. We should never ever lose sight of that, and I trust that in the next decade some wonderful things will happen. No-one knows what the world of technology will bring, but I look forward to finding out. I look forwarding to joining you all in 2010! Have a good one, and never forget the positives in life.
