My Good Wishes for 2009 Hi Adrian, Easy, don't listen to the war of words on the media, they compete with each other for the best story. Unfortunately it would appear that only bad news is worth reporting because it will get a high response. Good news only lowers their sales figures. It is purely relative, if the present situation affects you personally, it has done the same to everyone else. Therefore the status quo has remained static. If you have lost 10% off your previously inflated property value, or investments, so has everyone else. Comparitive living standards will remain the same. We are not being bombed, our vast majority of the population are not going to war and putting their lives at risk ! So here are my best wishes to everyone, Have a Happy New Year things are not that bad, they could be a lot worse. Love to 2009 Cheers Keith
A timely reminder indeed. I live by the adage that "There is always someone worse off than you" no matter what the situation. I saw a young lad about 7 or 8 come into a grocery store the other day following his mum in a wheel chair. He seemed to be crippled or a quadriplegic. His head was held up by a support frame from a leather strap from around the back of his neck and to the front under his chin. This apparatus was connected by ropes to what looked like a hangman's frame. This was to keep his head vertical and another each side. He was on a rather large drip of what I do not know. This is what I could see. You never know what was underneath his clothing or under the wheel chair. He was smiling away at everyone he passed. One of the young girls had complained earlier about a paper cut and had to go and get it dressed and have a little sit down. I asked her to have a look at the boy. I then asked her about the paper cut. She replied, I cannot feel a thing.
I hope the new year has got off to a good start for everyone. Looking forward to sharing at least some of it with you lot.
