I received an email just before Christmas. In part it said, “…. 2009 has been a horrible year — can’t wait for 2010.”
You may have heard something similar. And normally I’d just write back
‘Happy New Year’. But when I got the original message it struck me how
our lives have little to do with the year. Or, to put it another way,
how much ‘the year’ has to do with us, not the other way around!
Another friend, Tim Fernandez in Kuala Lumpur , put it this way: ‘The year has been somewhat extraordinary. The reason, not only because of the many things that have come to manifest themselves – I would say it was extraordinary for the simple reason that we’ve reached out to many and created possibilities.
