2008 I must say has been a very challenging year to most people.
People have been challenged to alter their lifestyles to suit the changing economic trends, which, more often than not, gloomy.
Our family mourned the passing away of our beloved pet.
I for one have become more conscious and vocal, even if only through writing, about my observations of what is happening around me.
There were many reasons to stop smiling although there are lots more reasons to smile more often.
A few days before this year ends had us question how peace really works, what with the conflict going on in the Middle East. I know this is far from where we are but the impact may be bigger than we thought it would probably be.
I have been and still is a dreamer and I have even encouraged others to do so, even through blogging.
My family and I, along with so many other families went through, and are still going through tough times. These times however, do not deter us from being positive, but it has encouraged us to be more conscious in how resources are being allocated.
I know the year ahead is not without bumps and hurdles.
How often must we bear the challenges of life; The endless roller coaster between happiness and sorrow; The constant ups and downs of daily strife. And Always the question remains….why? -Kit McCallum
But keeping my faith intact and working together with my family, I know we can face the challenges that lie ahead.
Life is beautiful, isn’t it?
We arm ourselves with love, faith, hope and joy and are thankful with the life lessons learned from the year that was 2008.
