So this is it, 10 hours to go and counting to the end of 2007. I can’t help but get nostalgic for all that is, all that was, and all that will go down in my history as, the year 2007. A year always seems to be such a long time at the beginning, and to have been such a short time when you’re at the end. But looking back on a whole year, even in the most sedate life, you will always find happiness, sadness, pain and growth making landmarks across that journey of 365 days.

Perhaps more so for 2008 than in years gone by, I have a real feeling of expectation and hope. But from the look of the peoplescape around me, those who I talk and listen to share that same sense. It’s funny really, it’s almost like, the stars are aligning and some sort of positive force is at work in the world.

Well I’ve resisted the temptation to dive into my particular dreams and ambitions. Plenty of time for that later as January unfolds properly. But perhaps to say, that the thing that is different about 2008 is the confidence that anything is acheivable.

So, here’s to a wicked 2007 new years eve, and a toast, to the start of 2008! May it be all we hope for!

Padwanna!
