New year new thoughts?

A happy New year to everyone. Despite the current world situation there is reason to believe that 2009 can offer hope to us all. If humans would just stop for a moment and tune out of reading and watching and listening to the doom and gloom they would find opportunity. Einstein is quoted as saying in every disaster there is opportunity.

Blame is lame. There is no point in blaming the greed of a financial advisor that got you into a mortgage that now means your facing a shortfall on your final payment or worse. Action is what is required to change the thinking of Governments that allow this to happen and to banks and other financial institutes that have been part of the current situation. A concerted shift by humans into their financial awareness and seeking ways to sort it out will offer more opportunities than just blaming it on others or worse "bad luck."

A white blanket had covered most of the UK this morning and it was interesting to note all the different tracks in the snow. I will enjoy building a snowman and chasing snowballs if the thaw does not happen to quickly.

On a personal front I have had a mild seizure which will need to be monitored. The bosses have found a holistic remedy that should help if they become more frequent. I am also moulting at present which is odd with all this cold weather; I put it down to my age!

I must consult the blond vet michelle about this as she is really good and more important has a mission to help animals big and small. She is also a dog owner so that is a double bonus. She has a book called PuppyPower which is a must for anyone considering getting a puppy or a dog owner. With Christmas over it will be a testing time for many puppies that will find life may have an unfortunate twist come the end of January. Again on the news the recent increase in dog and other pets being abandoned is blamed on the recession? Reading the advice in PuppyPower would have prevented that from happening. How much does it cost to feed a pet in comparison to a pack of cigarettes, bottle of wine, a newspaper?

Well here's to hoping that the snow does not cause to much turmoil on the roads and rail this morning.
Have a good day
