Now the twinkly lights on the christmas trees have been banished to the attic and the memories of another year begin to fade, Like many others, I find now is the time to take stock of our lives.
For a lot of people it's hard (particuarily in January) to be stay positive when all around the 'credit crunch' starts to bite or every day the news brings word of another 'Giant' company toppling to its knees.
I personally say 'ditch the doom and gloom merchants' get up brush ourselves down concentrate on the simple pleasures in life. My list includes: children, family, love, country walks, beaches, pets, libraries, books, art, scrap books, photos, home-made food, board games, laughing, music and black and white films.
Goodness, I sound just like Doris Day!
So here's to 2009, I for one think it will be a very good year.
