goodbye 2007...and 2008, Welcome!
I am confident that I for one, am happy to see the end of the year. It has been an interesting year fraught with heartache, pain and periods of sadness, coupled with lots of joy. There has been a re-awakening of sorts for me with regards to my hopes, dreams and desires. With the prospect of a new year it provides an opportunity to turn a new life page and start again, in so many ways and hopefully more interesting and rewarding ways.
It was said to me the other day it is also a time to make new resolutions. I have never been one to follow resolutions. I find I get into a quiet space on the 31st of December, open up my word folder and go into goals and then sit there and plan the way I want and imagine the following year to be, then tend to look at that folder a year or two later and say what the ? Where did those thoughts and feelings go? Resolutions for me have in times past proven to be a shocker. However, the idea and feelings of being, or having something, new as part of your life are nonetheless powerful and emotive tools. So this year I will only have one main, and one sub goal, and that is to live more powerfully! - and in that space, make the plans, hopes and dreams I have longed for over the longest time, bear real fruit. Well, there it is. I have put it out there for all to see, judge and or ridicule. But for me it is a powerful reminder that there will be people who will be wanting and hoping I get there aswell. I hope that for those who visit this blog, you will even emotionally hold me to my goals.
It has been a year that I can look back on with some degree of surprise and say, why the hell did I do that or say certain things, and yet be honoured and happy that I was a part of so many other things. My faults and flaws are never far away from my consciousness, but in all, I have had a good year this year and look forward with open arms to the new year to being a better me in 2008 than I was in 2007.
Have a good New year celebration everyone, and remember, please keep safe and in closing let me quote in the immortal words of the former boxing champion Jeff Fenech, "I Loves youse all!!!"

From an old acquaintance you shouldn't forget.
