2010, a year in fast forward?

One second it's New Year's Eve and the next we're 19 days into 2010. How does this happen? I have been so negligent in posting.

I'm not going to talk much about Haiti as there are no words that can truly capture the misery of that tragic story. Do what you can to help, that's all that matters at this point.

A decade into the 2000's I cannot help but to think back to the 1999 New Year's Eve and remember the excitement and massive world wide partying that was going on. It was amazing. Did the decade lived up to that excitement? I'd have to say no. World wide there was so much bad news, so much hate, so much destruction. We can only hope the next 10 years brings more hope. (Though sadly, Haiti's situation is certainly no way to start this decade with hope.)

The Eve of a new decade!

Again, I've been slacking in the blogging department! So busy in life, friends, family, holidays and so busy at work! The Olympic Torch Relays brought 4 show in 4 cities in three days... including Christmas Eve! The traditional Christmas Eve Open House for family, friends and loved ones was a huge success! The Christmas morning breakfast was another big hit with fun and frivolity!

On this the Eve of a new decade, I can only wish for; a brighter, happier, lighter, more "good news" filled 10 years than the previous 10. The horror, the tragedy, the sorrow, the financial crashes, the neighbourhood blight and deterioration, the ridiculousness of the past decade cannot be allowed to be repeated. Stand firm, stand united and refuse to allow it to continue! Those who strive to only destroy cannot remain strong against those with love, family and friends in their corner. Those who strive only to propagate hatred, cannot help but to fail against the strength of those of us with hope, support, compassion and the wide spread wealth of friends and like thinking people who are the true axis of this world!

Happy 2010 to those of you who strive to make this a better world!
