Build a Blog

I’d just like to wish everybody a happy New Year, and that your Christmas (if you celebrate it) was equally enjoyable.

At this time of year I can’t help but look back over 2008 a little, and that helps me to then look forward to 2009 and all that I hope it will bring…

What happened in 2008

If I look outwards to the world and the major events that happened this year. Then it was truly a landmark year, especially if you look at the major events that effected the world, like the election of the first African American President for America and the global financial problems for instance. Definitely a year to remember.

And then from a personal point of view the dominating factors were the deaths of 3 close family members and friends, that have obviously effected me. And also finding out that I will need a fairly major operation has really made me look at myself this year and what I want to achieve. A year to remember…

Looking forward to 2009

In the next couple of days I will be going into hospital for my operation so that is on my mind a lot at the moment. But I also want to learn from this experience, about myself, what is important and what changes I may want to make because of what I have learned.

So from a personal point of view there is a lot going on, which is actually quite exciting. Any changes that I want to make will have an effect on my blogging and my photography, which both need a little more attention at the moment after last year. Taking a little time and putting myself first, instead of running around after everybody else and trying to fit everything in, will be good for me (forced or otherwise).

My aim for 2009 is growth, both personally and in my online activities.
