Reflections on change



January 1st - a time to reflect on changes which have taken place during the past year, and things you might like to change in the coming year.

As individuals, there are things we can change, and others we can't. We can make deliberate and conscious choices. I chose to eat less and lose weight and feel healthier.

As humanity,there's a whole lot we need to change. Seems there was a collective failure of will at Copenhagen. Let's see if we can do better in 2010. Individual effort may make individuals feel good about themselves, but it's not going to be enough to save the boat we're all in together!

  3. Well you'd be right there. Copenhagen was a massive disappointment to put it mildly. And yes we can all do something to help, even if it's saving water, not turning on all those lights etc.

    Love the photo but where are you?!

    Happy New Year to you and Piero and Ben, dear Sally.

    Hoping for a better 2010 for all of us.

    So ..... which part of you is in this photo? I see a blue heart, and I see your hand ... I'm curious about the rest -:)

    and ... appropriately enough the word verification for this comment is "messes" . Go figure -:)

  10. Very creative photo and good sentiments for the new year. Let's hope we can get the governments to agree to do more for our "boat" and work on saving the planet for future generations.

  14. Like the others, I thought it was some kind of sculpture, rather than your swimming cossie. You'll be growing flippers soon and we'll have to call you Miranda!
